The Great Glad Day

Author: C. H. G. Hymnal: Light and Life Songs No. 2 #31 (1914) First Line: When the first glimpse of heaven breaks upon our raptured sigh Refrain First Line: What a great glad day that will be Lyrics: 1 When the first glimpse of heaven breaks upon our raptured sigh, What a day of rejoicing that will be! When we stand face to face with Jesus in that world of light, What a great glad day that will be. Chorus: What a great glad day that will be, What a great glad day that will be; When we meet, never more to part, on that eternal shore, What a great glad day that will be. 2 When we march thro’ the gates and hear the welcome of our King, What a day of rejoicing that will be! When with saints and the angels we unite His praise to sing, What a great glad day that will be. [Chorus] 3 When we meet with the loved ones who have laid their armor down, What a day of rejoicing that will be! When the Lord shall bestow on us a bright immortal crown, What a great glad day that will be. [Chorus] 4 There the storms never beat, and the surges never roll,— What a day of rejoicing that will be! There no death ever enters, there no sorrows reach the soul; What a great glad day that will be. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [When the first glimpse of heaven breaks upon our raptured sigh]
