Hymns of the Lutheran Church

52 O happy day when we shall stand

1 O happy day when we shall stand Amid the heavenly throng, And sing with hosts from every land The new celestial song, The new celestial song. 2 O blessed day! From far and near The servants of the Lord Shall meet the ransomed millions there Who heard God's saving word. 3 O what a mighty, rushing flood Of love without surcease, Shall roll about the throne of God In joy and endless peace! 4 God, may Thy bounteous grace inspire Our hearts so that we may All join the heavenly, white robed Upon that glorious day! [Choir]
