WHAT A DAY THAT WILL BE - A SONG THAT INSPIRED BY DIVINE COMFORT BY JIM HILL

Details

Description

JIM HILL, a beloved figure in Southern Gospel music, has touched the hearts of many with his timeless voice and powerful hymns. Even in his 80s, he continues to inspire fans, particularly through his appearances in the Gaither Homecoming videos. His journey in gospel music began in the 1940s when he took on the role of both tenor singer and manager of the Golden Keys Quartet. Although Hill had once aspired to a career in opera, even auditioning for the Metropolitan Opera, he chose instead to serve the Kingdom of God through gospel music, a decision that has blessed countless lives.

In the early 1950s, Hill penned one of the most cherished hymns in Southern Gospel, *"What a Day That Will Be."* The song was born out of a personal moment of faith, written during a time of worry for his ailing mother-in-law. Inspired by divine comfort, the song’s heartfelt message resonated deeply with listeners, cementing its place as a gospel classic. First performed by the Golden Keys Quartet, it was later popularized by the Homeland Harmony Quartet, becoming a beloved anthem of hope and anticipation.

Jim Hill's influence didn’t stop with his own contributions. In the 1960s, the Golden Keys Quartet also helped promote the songs of another young gospel songwriter—Bill Gaither—further shaping the sound of Southern Gospel for future generations.

There is coming a day
When no heartaches shall come
No more clouds in the sky
No more tears to dim the eye
All is peace forever more
On that happy golden shore
What a day, glorious day that will be

What a day that will be
When my Jesus I shall see
When I look upon His face
The One who saved me by His grace
When He takes me by the hand
And leads me to the Promised Land
What a day, glorious day that will be
