Our Lord Is Now Rejected

(THE CROWNING DAY )

El Nathan

James McGranhan

1. Our Lord is now re - ject - ed,
   And by the world dis-owned,
   By the man - y still ne - glect - ed,
   And by the few en-throned,
   But soon he'll come in glo - ry,
   The hour is draw ing nigh,
   For the crown - ing day is com - ing by and by.
   
   Chorus
   O the crown- ing day is com- ing, Is com-ing by and by,
   When our Lord shall come in 'pow - er,' and 'glo - ry' from on high.
   glo - rious sight will glad - den, Each wait-ing, watch - ful eye,
   In the crown-ing day that's com- ing by and by.
   
   
2. The heavens shall glow with splen - dor,
   But bright - er far than they
   The saints shall shine in glo - ry,
   As Christ shall them ar - ray,
   The beau - ty of the Sav - iour,
   Shall daz - zle ev - ery eye,
   In the crown - ing day that's com - ing by and by.
   ⁠Chours
   
3. Our pain shall then be o - ver,
   We'll sin and sigh no more,
   Be - hind us all of sor - row,
   And naught but joy be fore,
   A joy in our Re - deem - er,
   As we to him are nigh,
   In the crown - ing day that's com - ing by and by.
   ⁠Chours
   
4. Let all that look for, has - ten
   The com - ing joy - ful day,
   By ear - nest con - se - era - tion,
   To walk the nar - row way,
   By gath-ering in the lost ones,
   For whom our Lord did die,
   For the crown - ing day that's com ing by and by.
   ⁠Chours
