The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#839

839. When shall I see the day

1 When shall I see the day
That ends my woes?
When shall I victory gain
O'er all my foes?

2 When the trumpet sound,
That calls me home?
The grand, sabbatic year,
When will it come?

3 In yonder realms of light,
By faith I see
A crown of glory bright,
Prepared for me.

4 O may I soon behold
That happy day,
When sorrow, sin, and pain
Shall flee away!

5 O may I ever keep
The prize in view,
And through the storms of life
My way pursue!

6 Jesus, be thou my guide,
My steps attend;
O keep me near thy side;
Be thou my friend.

7 Be thou my shield and sun,
Be thou my guard;
And, when my work is done,
My great reward.
