When he comes in all his glory
For his children gone astray
When he comes in all his glory -
That'll be a happy day
When at last there is an end to weeping
Every cruelty cast away
When at last there is an end to weeping -
That'll be a happy day
That'll be a happy day

Oh Lord, let me see
As they lay my body weary
As they lay my body down in the ground
As they lay my body down in the ground

And up from every ocean riseth
A fearsome river to wash away
Up from every ocean riseth -
That'll be a happy day
Oh Brother Daniel, are you watching
The golden light on feet of clay?
Oh Brother Daniel, are you watching?
This'll be a happy day
This'll be a happy day!

Oh Lord, let me see
As they lay my body weary
As they lay my body down in the ground
As they lay my body down in the ground
When he comes in all his glory
For his children gone astray
When he comes in all his glory
That'll be a happy day
That'll be a happy day
That'll be a happy day
That'll be a happy day
