This past Thursday would have been my Mom and Dad’s 60th anniversary. I was talking to Mom this morning and, as she told me again of how Dad flew out to Kansas to see her, one of her memories of that visit was him singing the song below. Dad loved the Lord and I am sure the song he had in his heart that day has been a sweet memory for Mom – and such a HAPPY song too!\u00a0 Oh, by the way…Dad “popped the question” on this visit as well.

Jesus may come today
\nGlad day, glad day!
\nAnd I would see my Friend;
\nDangers and troubles would end
\nIf Jesus would come today.<\/p>\n

Glad day, glad day!
\nIs it the crowning day?
\nI\u2019ll live for today, nor anxious be;
\nJesus, my Lord I soon shall see.
\nGlad day, glad day!
\nIs it the crowning day?
\n<\/i>
\nI may go home today
\nGlad day, glad day!
\nIt seems I hear their song;
\nHail to the radiant throng!
\nIf I should go home today.<\/p>\n

Glad day, glad day!
\nIs it the crowning day?
\nI\u2019ll live for today, nor anxious be;
\nJesus, my Lord I soon shall see.
\nGlad day, glad day!
\nIs it the crowning day?
\n<\/i>
\nWhy should I anxious be?
\nGlad day, glad day!
\nLights appear on the shore,
\nStorms will affright nevermore,
\nFor He is \u201cat hand\u201d today.<\/p>\n

Glad day, glad day!
\nIs it the crowning day?
\nI\u2019ll live for today, nor anxious be;
\nJesus, my Lord I soon shall see.
\nGlad day, glad day!
\nIs it the crowning day?
\n<\/i>
\nFaithful I\u2019ll be today,
\nGlad day, glad day!
\nAnd I will freely tell
\nWhy I should love Him so well,
\nFor He is my all today.<\/p>\n

Glad day, glad day!
\nIs it the crowning day?
\nI\u2019ll live for today, nor anxious be;
\nJesus, my Lord I soon shall see.
\nGlad day, glad day!
\nIs it the crowning day?
