74. The Day of Glory Bearing

7,6.
by J.G. Deck
1
The day of glory bearing
 
Its brightness far and near,
 
The day of Christ’s appearing
 
We now no longer fear.
2
He once a spotless victim
 
For us on Calvary bled;
 
Jehovah did afflict Him,
 
And bruised Him in our stead.
3
To Him by grace united,
 
We joy in Him alone;
 
And now by faith delighted,
 
Behold Him on the throne.
“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16)
“Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens.” (Hebrews 8:1)
4
Then let Him come in glory,
 
Who comes His saints to raise,
 
To perfect all the story
 
Of wonder, love and praise.
“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)
