The night is now far spent,
 
The day is drawing nigh,
 
Soon will the morning break
 
In radiance through the sky:
 
Oh let the thought our spirits cheer,
 
The Lord Himself will soon appear!
“The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.” (Romans 13:12)
“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.” (1 Thessalonians 4:16)
2
Though men our hope deride,
 
Nor will the truth believe,
 
We in His Word confide,
 
And it will ne’er deceive:
 
Soon all that grieves shall pass away,
 
And saints shall see a glorious day.
3
For us the Lord intends
 
A bright abode on high,
 
The place where sorrow ends,
 
And naught is known but joy:
 
With such a hope let us rejoice,
 
We soon shall hear the Savior’s voice.
“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” (John 14:1-3)
“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” (Revelation 21:4)
“Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.” (Psalm 16:11)
“By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” (Romans 5:2)
