Lyrics Jesus may come today, Glad day, Glad day! And I would see my Friend; Dangers and troubles would end If Jesus should come today. I may go home today, Glad day, Glad day! Seemeth I hear their song; Praise from the radiant throng! If I should go home today. Why should I anxious be? Glad day, Glad day! Lights appear on the shore, Storms will affright nevermore, For He is "at hand" today. Faithful I'll be today, Glad day, Glad day! And I will freely tell Why I should love Him so well, For He is my All today. Chorus: Glad day, Glad day! Is it the crowning day? I'll live for today, not anxious be; Jesus my Lord I soon shall see. Glad day, Glad day! Is it the crowning day?
