Our Lord Is Now Rejected Hymn Lyrics

1 Our Lord is now rejected,

And by the world disowned;

By the many still neglected,

And by the few enthroned;

But soon He’ll come in glory !

The hour is drawing nigh,

For the crowning day is coming

By and by.

Oh, the crowning day is coming !

Is coming by and by !

When our Lord shall come in “power”

And “glory” from on high !

Oh, the glorious sight will gladden

Each waiting, watchful eye,

In the crowning day that’s coming

By and by.

2 The heavens shall glow with splendour;

But brighter far than they,

The saints shall shine in glory,

As Christ shall them array:

The beauty of the Saviour

Shall dazzle every eye,

In the crowning day that’s coming

By and by.

3 Our pain shall then be over:

We’ll sin and sigh no more;

Behind us all of sorrow,

And nought but joy before—

A joy in our Redeemer,

As we to Him are nigh,

In the crowning day that’s coming

By and by.

4 Let all that look for, hasten

The coming joyful day,

By earnest consecration,

To walk the narrow way;

By gathering in the lost ones.

For whom our Lord did die,

For the crowning day that’s coming

By and by.
