Hasten the Glorious Day

Hasten the Glorious Day

 

Hasten the glorious day,

When the sorrows of this world end.

When even night is the lighted way.

 

All souls shall gather in beautiful array,

Ev’ry tongue shall confess, ev’ry knee, bend.

Hasten the glorious day.

 

Doing so in words we say,

Making known to ev’ry woman and gent,

When even night is the lighted day.

 

For the day will no longer delay,

Even the night shall shine therein.

Hasten the glorious day.

 

Shine the light into today,

As one knows not how many days lent.

When even night is the lighted way.

 

Nothing hidden, all made straight,

Life eternal shall begin.

Hasten the glorious day,

When even night is the lighted way.

Melinda, I was caught up in the movement of your poem. It read like a beloved hymn would read and the promise of that Glorious Day is so hopeful. Thank you for your writing and your faith that flows out of this piece. I too long for that Glorious Day.

I love the hopeful nature of this poem...we need more like it these days...so much chaos and insecurity about the future.

Like the rhyme scheme here Melinda. We should all look for the light, wherever we can find it. Lovely words from your talented pen.
