The Glorious Day

by POLLOCK, A. | Category: General | Dec 1952

1.Oh, hasten Lord the glorious day,

When all shall own Messiah's sway,

When peace shall reign, the wide world o'er,

And men shall learn to war no more.

2.Then swords to ploughshares will be turned,

And chariots in the fire be burned,

And spear be changed to pruning hook,

When men to Christ the Lord shall look.

3.Creation's groaning then will cease,

From bondage all will have release,

The glorious liberty shall know,

all God's children here below.

4.The brute creation then will share

The blessings of that age so fair,

Will feed together day by day,

Nor count their neighbour lawful prey

5.The knowledge of the Lord shall be,

Widespread as waters cover sea,

All men shall fully know the Lord,

As is revealed in God's own Word.

6.Beneath their vine and their fig tree,

All men shall find security,

And none shall dare to make them fear,

When Christ the Lord as King is here.

7.His enemies shall lick the dust,

His people in His Name shall trust,

Their freewill offerings bring then,

When Christ, in power, has come to reign.

8.His hand once pierced by sinful men,

Shall wield the kingly sceptre then,

As King and Priest upon His throne,

All men His power and law will own.

9.Then hasten, Lord, Messiah's day,

When righteousness and peace shall sway

The hearts of men, the wide world o'er,

And men shall learn to war no more.
