1 Some glad sweet day, the Master’s voice will call me,
To lay aside this life of toil and care;
On joyful wing I’ll mount to realms of glory—
And meet my blessèd Savior in the air.

Refrain:
Some glad sweet day, the journey will be ended,
And we shall see Him face to face;
Around the throne with voices sweetly blending,
We’ll sing the riches of His grace.

2 Some glad sweet day, the feet that have grown weary,
In traveling thro’ this lonely vale of tears;
Will find repose beyond this land of shadows,
And perfect rest thro’ all the passing years. [Refrain]

3 Take courage, soul, nor ever fear nor falter,
Thy Savior will supply abundant grace;
In that bright home where all is joy and gladness,
There we shall meet the Savior face to face. [Refrain]
