A Better Day Is Coming Hymn Lyrics

1 A better day is coming,

A morning promised long,

When girded Right, with holy Might,

Will overthrow the Wrong;

When God the Lord will listen

To every plaintive sigh,

And stretch His hand o’er every land,

With justice by and by.

Coming by and by, coming by and by !

The better day is coming, the morning draweth nigh

Coming by and by, coming by and by I

The welcome dawn will hasten on, ’tis coming

by and by.

2 The boast of haughty Error

No more will fill the air,

But Age and Youth will love the Truth,

And spread it everywhere;

No more from Want and Sorrow

Will come the hopeless cry;

For strife will cease, and perfect Peace

Will flourish by and by.

3 Oh, for that holy dawning

We watch, and wait, and pray,

Till o’er the height the morning light

Shall drive the gloom away;

And when the heavenly glory

Shall flood the earth and sky,

We’ll bless the Lord for all His word,

And praise Him by and by.
