Graduation Day
The thunder crashed, the lightning flashed,
Throughout the still of night;
God calls to Jesus Christ His Son,
And shares with Him delight.
The time is now, to mount your horse,
And split the eastern sky;
To bring from earth My sons and daughters,
No longer shall they cry.
The Church awaits for Her Bridegroom,
And guards its precious oil;
In hopes, that Christ will come tonight,
And will no longer toil.
He´s come to take us home with Him,
To see that Crystal Bay;
Our hearts now sing with Joy Adoring,
It´s Graduation Day!
