1
The happy day has rolled on,
The glorious period now has come:
The angel sure has come again
To introduce Messiah’s reign.
2
The gospel trump again is heard,
The truth from darkness has appear’d;
The lands which long in darkness lay,
Have now beheld a glorious day.
3
The day by prophets long foretold;
The day which Abram did behold;
The day that Saints desired long,
When God his strange work would perform.
4
The day when Saints again should hear
The voice of Jesus in their ear,
And angels who above do reign,
Come down to converse hold with men.
