Oh what a happy time that's sure to be
Jesus is a-comin' back to me
I hear Him callin' me away
From this world forever to stay
And when I take my Savior's hand
In that blessed Promised Land
I'll shout and sing through the endless ages
What a happy day

Oh what a happy day
That will be when we gather there
Oh what a happy day
When we climb those golden stairs
We’ll meet with those who’ve gone before
James and John and a million more
What a happy time that's sure to be
Oh what a happy day

And when I walk into Heaven fair meet my blessed savior there
He’ll place a crown upon my head and give me a robe of white to wear
And then I'll walk on streets of gold
And live forever and not grow old
I'll shout and sing through the endless ages
What a happy day
