Some Day

Representative Text

1 Some day a gladsome message
Will fall upon mine ear;
Some day His blessèd welcome
Will fill my heart with cheer.

Refrain:
Some day, some day
The journey I’ll complete,
And when the Father calls me home,
I’ll rest at Jesus’ feet.

2 Some day in yon blest haven,
I’ll walk with Him in white;
Some day redemption’s story
Will be my heart’s delight. [Refrain]

3 Some day the noise of battle
Will greet my ears no more;
Some day I’ll walk triumphant
On Canaan’s happy shore. [Refrain]

4 Some day I’ll meet my loved ones,
Who’ve passed to realms above;
Some day I’ll hear them singing
Sweet songs of Jesus’ love. [Refrain]
