I am thankful for the hope that my name is in the Book of Life.
I am thankful for the fair miter.
I am thankful for the robe of righteousness that is promised to all who love the Lord.
I am thankful that the Lord is preparing a people to receive immortality without seeing death.
I am thankful that Jesus loves me, and will come in this generation to take His loved ones to the mansions He has already prepared.
For that glad day we must prepare
By careful living, constant prayer.
The Lord will surely help us stand,
And safely reach that heavenly land
In that glad day.
In that glad day we need not pray
For God to wipe all tears away,
Or any evil to destroy.
'Tis peace and joy without alloy
In that glad day.
In that glad day when Christ shall come
To take His faithful children home,
Shall we be ready, every one,
With faces shining as the sun,
In that glad day?
In that glad day shall we exclaim
This is the Lord, we know His name;
We've waited long, and He is kind?
A present Saviour we shall find,
In that glad day.
In that glad day, O praise the Lord,
All we who love His blessed Word,
Salvation's blessed robe shall wear,
And all His glory we shall share
In that glad day.
