Some Day When We Get Home

Representative Text

1 Some day the clouds will pass away forever,
Some day, when we get home;
Some day with joy we’ll meet our blessed Saviour,
Some day, when we get home.

Refrain:
O the songs ascending,
O the joy unending,
Some day, when we get home!
How we’ll tell the story,
Of our Saviour’s glory,
Some day, when we get home!

2 Some day we’ll meet with lov’d ones gone before us,
Some day, when we get home;
Some day we’ll join the mighty heav’nly chorus,
Some day, when we get home. [Refrain]

3 Some day the cross will bring the crown of heaven,
Some day, when we get home;
Some day “well done” will be the welcome given,
Some day, when we get home. [Refrain]
