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]
