IN Thy due time, our Heavenly Father, shall be known

Thy gracious plan, which now is hid

Except unto Thy saints alone.

O glorious day, when Thine All-wisdom, justice power and love,

The whole creation shall approve!

In His due time, O blessed Jesus, Thou shalt see

 The travail of Thy soul, and shalt

 Be satisfied eternally;

Thine agony on Calvary.” the price that Thou didst give,

Shall cause the dead again to live!

In God’s due time, O pilgrim on the “narrow way,”

Thy painful journey ended, darkest

Night shall turn to brightest day;

Thine every trial, then, thine every tear, shall prove a gem

To beautify thy diadem!

In His due time, O weary, groaning, sin-cursed Earth,

 The Lord will wipe away thy tears,

And bring the promised “second birth;”

And there shall be no pain, nor any death in that blest day

When sin and sorrow flee away!

In His due time angelic choirs shall sing again

In grander strain that heavenly message,

 “Peace on earth, good will toward men!”

And every knee shall bow, and every loving heart confess

The Christ who comes to reign and bless!
