I DON'T KNOW THE DAY.

"I Don't Know The Day" is a reflective English hymn often sung during funerals and times of remembrance in the Nigerian Catholic church. The song speaks to the Christian anticipation of meeting the Lord, capturing both the uncertainty of when that final call will come and the deep, joyful hope of seeing the "great King and Redeemer."

The verses are written as a personal meditation, moving from a longing for heaven to a steadfast declaration of faith. Even in the face of sadness or death, the lyrics remind the choir and congregation that their hope is built firmly on Jesus Christ. It is a comforting message for grieving families, shifting the focus from earthly loss to the promise of eternal peace.

Musically, the piece builds toward a simple but urgent refrain: "He will come, I don't know the day... I must be ready." This serves as a gentle spiritual wake-up call, making it a fitting choice not only for requiem Masses but also for the season of Advent, when the church reflects on Christ's second coming.
