Our Lord is now rejected, And by the world disowned,
我主今被人棄絕，又被世界否認；
By the many still neglected, And by the few enthroned;
眾人將祂漠視、忽略，只被少數崇尊；
But soon He’ll come in glory! The hour is drawing nigh,
但祂不久將榮歸！時日已經迫近，
For the crowning day is coming By-and-by.
因為不久加冠之日即將臨。

O the crowning day is coming, Is coming by-and-by,
哦，那加冠之日已近，不久即將來臨，
When our Lord shall come in power And glory from on high.
那時主將在大能榮耀中從天降臨。
O the glorious sight will gladden Each waiting, watchful eye,
哦，榮耀情景將令守望者歡喜不置，
In the crowning day that’s coming By-and-by.
在那不久即將臨加冠之日。

The heavens shall glow with splendor, but brighter far than they,
諸天發榮耀光輝；眾聖蒙主妝飾，
The saints shall shine in glory, as Christ shall them array.
在榮耀裡所發光輝，明亮遠超天勢。
The beauty of the Savior shall dazzle every eye,
穿戴救主的美麗，光彩令人眩目，
In the crowning day that’s coming By-and-by.
在那不久即將臨加冠之日。

Our pain shall then be over, we’ll sin and sigh no more,
不再犯罪不再憂，痛苦都成過去，
Behind us all of sorrow, and naught but joy before,
一切憂傷丟在背後，面前惟有歡喜，
A joy in our Redeemer, as we to Him are nigh,
是在主裡的歡欣；我們與祂相近，
In the crowning day that’s coming By-and-by.
在那加冠之日⸺不久即將臨。

Let all that look for hasten the coming joyful day,
但願我們都催促快樂之日來臨，
By earnest consecration, to walk the narrow way;
借著專一奉獻給主，窄路上往前奔；
By gathering in the lost ones, for whom our Lord did die,
並尋回失喪靈魂，因主為他受死，
For the crowning day that’s coming By-and-by.
在那不久將臨加冠的日子。
