Lyrics
Verse 1
A day is coming, coming soon
When we shall see Your face
And how our hearts are yearning for
That outpouring of grace
When You take all the galaxies
And roll them up like a scroll
When You make Heaven and Earth anew
And eternity unfolds
Chorus
Then the glory of the Lamb will be
All that we have longed to see
And we'll praise Your splendor
Majesty and might
There will be no darkness, be no night
We won't need the sun or moon to shine
For the glory of the Lamb will be our light
Verse 2
Although we see but dimly now
Our hearts are filled with love
For we have tasted and have seen
How good You are, O God
We know that our Redeemer lives
And someday You'll return
And we shall see You with our eyes
Oh how our hearts will burn

Meaning & Inspiration
The Glory of the Lamb looks toward the return of Christ and the renewal of creation. Its opening verse pictures heaven and earth made new as eternity unfolds, while the chorus fixes attention on the Lamb whose glory supplies all necessary light. Splendor, majesty, and might belong to him, and the absence of darkness becomes part of the song’s hope. This imagery closely follows the vision of the new Jerusalem, where neither sun nor moon is needed because the Lamb is its lamp.
The second verse balances future expectation with present limitation. God is now seen dimly, yet his goodness has already been tasted and his love already known. Confidence that the Redeemer lives supports the longing to see him face to face. Rather than treating eternity as an abstract destination, the lyric presents its central joy as the unveiled presence of Christ. The song therefore combines patient hope, worship, and assurance around the promised glory of the Lamb.
