The Glorious Day of appearing

This sinner, this wretched man, this least of Your children cries out to Thee, Oh Father.

Oh hear my prayer, hear my cry, Oh God.

My life is like a vapor, here today, gone tomorrow.

My hope is in the Resurrection, in the Glorious Day of Your appearing.

When you appear, then I shall be like You, most glorious.

When I think of that day, all my despair leaves me.

Then I realize it is more then worthwhile to live a holy life in this dark world.

Hasten that day, Oh Lord.
