The Story
I love to watch the Gaither Homecoming videos, and every now and then I’m pleasantly surprised to see some of the dignitaries of Southern Gospel music there. One person I love to see is Jim Hill, who as of this writing is in his 80s and still has his beautiful tenor voice.

Jim Hill as a young man studied to be a professional singer, even auditioning for the Metropolitan Opera, but thankfully for us and for the Kingdom of God he decided to dedicate his life to gospel music. In the 1940s, he started to both manage and sing tenor with the famed Golden Keys Quartet.
In the early 1950’s, he would write “What a Day That Will Be”.The story goes that his mother-in-law got gravely ill. He was a new Christian at the time, and while he was driving home from work he asked God why this was happening to her. He then said that words just came flooding to his head-when he got home he grabbed a piece of cardboard and started writing the words down. The first person he sang the song to was his mother-in-law.
The song was first presented by the Golden Keys Quartet and went on to be recorded by the Homeland Harmony Quartet. It would go on to become one of the most loved hymns in all of Southern Gospel music. Later in the 1960s, the Golden Keys Quartet would also help establish the songs of another young hymn writer by the name of Bill Gaither.
On October 3, 2012, Jim was scheduled inducted into the Southern Gospel Music Hall of Fame in Dollywood, a tribute that was certainly much-deserved and long overdue. In 2018, Jim Hill went home to be with the Lord at the age of 88.
