Representative Text

1 Someday I shall be like Him,
In that city so fair;
Pass’d shall be all my trials,
I His image shall bear.

Refrain:
Someday I shall be like Him,
Someday, like Him;
Chang’d into heavenly beauty,
When His face I see;
Someday I shall be like Him,
Someday, like Him;
Hallelujah!
This wonderful promise,
He gives to me.

2 Someday I shall be like Him,
O what joy fills my soul!
More and evermore like Him,
While eternities roll. [Refrain]

3 Someday I shall be like Him,
When His face I shall see;
Like my Lord, hallelujah!
From all sorrow be free. [Refrain]
