Lyrics from A Collection of Sacred Hymns for the Use of the Latter Day Saints, 1844

1. The glorious day is rolling on -
All glory to the Lord!
When fair as at creation's dawn
The earth will be restored.
A perfect harvest then will crown
The renovated soil;
And rich abundance drop around,
Without corroding toil.

2. For in its own primeval bloom,
Will nature smile again;
And blossoms streaming with perfume,
Adorn the verdant plain.
The saints will then, with pure delight,
Possess the holy land;
And walk with Jesus Christ in white,
And in his presence stand.

3. What glorious prospects! can we claim
These hopes, and call them ours?
Yes, if through faith in Jesus' name,
We conquer satan's pow'rs.
If we, like Jesus bear the cross -
Like him despise the shame;
And count all earthly things but dross,
For his most holy name.

4. Then while the pow'rs of darkness rage,
With glory in our view,
In Jesus' strength let us engage,
To press to Zion too.
For Zion will like Eden bloom;
And Jesus come to reign -
The saints immortal from the tomb
With angels meet again.

Hymn 181
C.M.
1. The glorious day is rolling on,
All glory to the Lord!
When fair as at creation's dawn
The earth will be restored.

2. A perfect harvest then will crown
The renovated soil,
And rich abundance drop around,
Without corroding toil:

3. For in its own primeval bloom
Will nature smile again,
And blossoms streaming with perfume
Adorn the verdant plain.

4. The saints will then, with pure delight,
Possess the holy land,
And walk with Jesus Christ in white,
And in his presence stand.

5. What glorious prospects! can we claim
These hopes, and call them ours?
Yes, if through faith in Jesus' name
We conquer Satan's pow'rs.

6. If we, like Jesus, bear the cross,
Like him despise the shame,
And count all earthly things but dross
For his most holy name.

7. Then, while the pow'rs of darkness rage,
With glory in our view,
In Jesus' strength let us engage,
To press to Zion too.

8. For Zion will like Eden bloom,
And Jesus come to reign,
The saints immortal from the tomb
With angels meet again.
