“The Lord shall descend from heaven with a shout.”-1Thes 4:16.
1 Jesus is coming with joy to the sky Oh happy day! Oh happy day Then all who love Him shall heaven-ward fly Oh happy day! happy day Together with Jesus we all shall be there Far from the earth, and from sorrow and care
Upward shall fly to the Lord in the air
Oh, happy day! happy day
2 Parents, and children shall then again meet Sisters and brothers, oh, it will be sweet Oh happy day! happy day We miss’d them on earth, to Jesus they Soon we shall meet them, and then be content
Oh happy day! Oh happy day went We love them as ever, their absence lament Oh happy day! happy day
3 Are we all ready, should Jesus now call Oh happy day! Oh, happy day Would each one answer, the great and the small Thy face, blessed Jesus, our Saviour to see Would you then dear children, sing sweetly with me Oh, happy day! happy day Oh, happy day! happy day We long to rise up and with Thee to be
4 Some will stay weeping unable to sing Oh happy day! oh happy day Yet all may rejoice their glad praises bring Oh happy day! Happy day For Jesus still waits, He tarries that we May trust in His name, and thus ready may be when, brightly beaming, His glory we see Oh, happy day! Happy day.
