On that day! Yes on that day when I shall have put on immortality.
On that day! Yes on that day when I shall have entered into glory.
Why it will be at long last when my wait seems it was but a moment,
As rapt in awe and beauty my mind will not remember.
I wait, I wait! Yes I wait for that day when my heart will sing that new, new song.
Today though, I see through the eyes of faith though garbed in this mortality.
Today, yes today I stand afar yet so near as I glimpse that day of glory.
What a beauty, what a beauty, Oh that it was not for a moment,
As rapt in awe I am arrested in His glory, Oh that I must remember.
So till that day, till that day, my heart will sing, until it burst into that new, new song!
