1 When shall I see the day
That ends my woes?
When shall I victory gain
O'er all my foes?
2 When the trumpet sound,
That calls me home?
The grand, sabbatic year,
When will it come?
3 In yonder realms of light,
By faith I see
A crown of glory bright,
Prepared for me.
4 O may I soon behold
That happy day,
When sorrow, sin, and pain
Shall flee away!
5 O may I ever keep
The prize in view,
And through the storms of life
My way pursue!
6 Jesus, be thou my guide,
My steps attend;
O keep me near thy side;
Be thou my friend.
7 Be thou my shield and sun,
Be thou my guard;
And, when my work is done,
My great reward.
