A sacred hymn joyously anticipating the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Music by Kevin G. Pace. Text by Mark R. Fotheringham. See text below.
Welcome the day long prophesied.
Welcome the day foretold
When Christ the Lord returns to earth
The visions fulfilled of old.
Welcome the day when wheat and tares
Finally separate be.
Welcome the truth revealed at last,
When all men salvation see.
Welcome the day of brotherhood.
Welcome the day of peace,
When Christ the Lord returns to earth
All prisoners to release.
Welcome the day when strife shall cease
As men relearn to love.
Mercy and grace enthroned at last,
Revealed from the realms above.
Until the day He comes again,
Welcome to each glad morn,
Facing with faith each joyful day
As saints of the Lord reborn.
Welcoming all who come our way,
We'll share the gospel plan,
Building a kingdom here on earth
To welcome the Son of Man.
