Christ My Song - 733
When I shall wake on that fair morn of morns - The day of satisfaction (Horatius Bonar/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
The day of satisfaction.
1. When I shall wake on that fair morn of morns,
after whose dawning never night returns,
and with whose glory day eternal burns,
I shall be satisfied! (PDF - Midi)
2. When I shall see thy glory face to face,
when in thine arms thou wilt thy child embrace,
when thou shalt open all thy stores of grace
I shall be satisfied!
3. When I shall meet with those whom I have loved,
clasp in my eager arms the long removed,
and find how faithful thou, my God, hast proved,
I shall be satisfied!
4. When this vile body shall arise again,
purged by thy power from every taint and stain,
delivered from all weakness and all pain,
I shall be satisfied!
5. When I shall gaze upon the face of him
who for me died, with eye no longer dim,
and praise him in the everlasting hymn,
I shall be satisfied!
6. When I shall call to mind the long, long past,
with clouds, and storms, and shadows overcast,
and know that I am saved and blessed at last,
I shall be satisfied!
7. When every enemy shall disappear,
the unbelief, the darkness, and the fear,
when thou shalt smooth the brow and wipe the tear,
I shall be satisfied!
8. When every vanity shall pass away,
and all be real, all without decay,
in that sweet dawning of the endless day,
I shall be satisfied!
Horatius Bonar, "Until the Day break", 1890, 43-45.
(3,3 reads originally: “and find how faithful thou hast proved”.)
