"Words by an unknown author; Steel and Hulan (2010) report that John Leland was suggested in an 1803 book. A popular book of the time, ''The History of Cosmopolite'' (first published 1813), credited the whole hymn to Lorenzo Dow, 1777-1834."

¶Lyrics / Text

1. That glorious day is drawing nigh, When Zion's light shall come; She shall arise and shine on high, Bright as the rising sun; The north and south their sons resign, And earth's foundations bend, Dressed as a bride, Jerusalem All glorious shall descend. 2. The king who wears the glorious crown. The azure flaming bow, The holy city shall bring down, To bless the church below; When Zion's bleeding conquering king. Shall sin and death destroy, The morning stars shall together sing, And Zion shout for joy. 3. The holy bright musician band, Who sing on harps of gold, Just by the course along they stand, Their gentle numbers roll, Descending with such melting strains, Jehovah they adore, Shouts through earth's extensive plains, Were never heard before.
