This is an old hymn written by Jefferson Hascall (1860). It is now sung with an upbeat Gospel tempo . The words affirm our faith in the promise of God concerning our eternal home. We long for that glorious Day, but till then, let us labour for the Lord and bear every earthly burden, trusting in the grace of God. Lyrics, sheet music and tune (Midi) are found in http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/Oh_Come_Angel_Band/ Yours trully, Peter Lam
