'Hymn for Today' : "There Will Come A Time"

There Will Come a Time      DSM

TUNE: Diademata

There’ll come a time one day,

When all the world finds peace;

When lion lays down with the lamb,

And every war will cease.

Then Christ will rule as King;

Rule over all the earth;

Then man will bow before their Lord,

And live the second birth!

Then on that glorious day,

We’ll stand in God’s own light;

There’ll be no pain or sickness there,

There’ll be no day and night.

Then Christ will rule as King;

Rule over all the earth;

Then man will bow before their Lord,

And live the second birth!

We’ll join in heaven’s choir,

Our voices lift in praise;

We’ll glorify our Lord and king,

Through our eternal days!

Then Christ will rule as King;

Rule over all the earth;

Then man will bow before their Lord,

And live the second birth!
