What a Day That Will Be 10/21/2010 7:22 AM There is coming a day when no heartaches shall come. No more clouds in the sky, no more tears to dim the eye, All is peace for evermore on that happy golden shore,What a day, glorious day that will be. What a day that will be, when my Jesus I shall see, And I look upon His face,The One who saved me by His grace; When He takes me by the hand And leads me through the Promises What a day, glorious day that will be. There’ll be no sorrow there, no more burdens to bear, No more sickness, no pain, no more parting over there; And forever I will be with the One who died for me,What a day, glorious day that will be. What a day that will be, when my Jesus I shall see, And I look upon His face,The One who saved me by His grace; When He takes me by the hand And leads me through the Promises Land,What a day, glorious day that will be. What a day, glorious day that will be!
