What A Day That Will Be

I long for the day when I awaken to find
That I've left all the cares of this old world behind
I've crossed over Jordan to Heaven's bright shore
Where sickness and death can reach me no more

No more will I mourn, no more will I cry
No more will earth's sorrow bring a tear to my eye
What a hope, what a promise is waiting for me
Hallelujah, what a day that will be

I don't know the hour when my soul will depart
When my burdens shall lift from my old weary heart
But I dream of that dawning when Jesus I'll see
What hope, what a promise, what a day that will be

No more will I mourn, no more will I cry
No more will earth's sorrow bring a tear to my eye
What a hope, what a promise is waiting for me
Hallelujah, what a day that will be

No more will I mourn, no more will I cry
No more will earth's sorrow bring a tear to my eye
What a hope, what a promise is waiting for me
Hallelujah, what a day that will be
