“In That Day”.

“In That Day”.

(John 14: 20 NT)

Oh blessed day, begun,

      The Spirit’s day

The Father and the Son

      My joy alway.

“The faith of God’s elect”,

      This, this is mine.

Oh, blessèd retrospect,

      Supreme—divine!

       My days—just one long bliss—

      Life, there or here.

Eternal comfort this,

      Nor doubt, nor fear.

‘Shadows’ have gone for me,

      ‘Substance’ has come,

The living God, to be

      For aye my home.
