But some sweet morn, in yonder blissful place, When I with joy shall clasp my Savior’s hand, And rest my eyes upon His matchless face, My happy soul will clearly understand. 2 I know not why He should His all resign, And suffer death to hide my wretched past; But this I know His priceless love is mine, And His dear voice will tell me all at last. Yes, some sweet morn, in yonder blissful place, When I with joy shall clasp my Savior’s hand, And rest my eyes upon His matchless face, My happy soul will clearly understand. 3 Then I will wait, and prize the precious gift, Until I hear my blessed Lord’s command; For well I know that He Himself will lift The veil that hides, and I shall understand. Yes, some sweet morn, in yonder blissful place, When I with joy shall clasp my Savior’s hand, And rest my eyes upon His matchless face, My happy soul will clearly understand.
