Representative Text

1 Some day I’ll lay my burden down,
And enter into rest;
Some day I’ll wear a starry crown,
When Jesus deems it best.

Refrain:
I know not when that day shall come,
My Savior knows when it is best;
But some day I shall reach my home,
And be forever with the blest.

2 Some day my Savior’s face I’ll see
And be forever blest;
Some day, I know not when ’twill be,
But Jesus knows when best. [Refrain]

3 Some day a voice shall call me home,
To be my Father’s guest,
Some day my feet shall cease to roam,
When Jesus deems it best. [Refrain]

4 Some day I’ll join the ransomed throng,
Of every good possessed;
Some day I’ll sing the happy song,
When Jesus deems it best. [Refrain]
