Today May Be the Day

Today may be the happy day
When Jesus comes for me
To take me to His perfect home
To spend eternity.

Today may be the joyful day
When Jesus shall appear
To take me from this world of sin
And banish death and fear.

Today may be the longed for day
When Jesus comes at last –
So I’ll be ready for the time
He sounds the trumpet blast.

Today may be the endless day
When Jesus takes me home –
I’m watching, waiting for the hour
His voice will call me, “Come!”
