Morning Joy

Time flies...
But soon―one happy day,
I’ll wing my upward way
To yonder skies―
A sinner saved by grace,
I’ll gaze on Jesus face,
And meet those holy eyes!
Far from earth’s dismal night,
In heaven’s unsullied light;
With no clouds in between,
And in Christ’s beauty seen,
His praise I’ll sing.
Haste, Lord that blissful day,
When, in that glory’s ray,
Home Thou wilt bring,
The ones for whom Thou’st died,
To see Thy wounded side;
And heaven shall ring
With “hallelujahs” grand,
For in that happy land,
The Nazarene is King.
