Representative Text

1 Some happy day mine eyes shall see,
The face of Him who died for me;
I’ll praise Him thro’ Eternity,
Some happy day, some happy day.

Refrain:
Some happy day, some happy day,
The Lord will wipe our tears away,
And we shall see Him as He is,
Some happy day, some happy day.

2 Some happy day I too shall sing
The song that makes all heaven ring;
Worthy the Lamb, our Lord and King,
Some happy day, some happy day. [Refrain]

3 Some happy day, O blessed tho’t,
The race is run, the battle fought;
We’ll join the throng by His blood bought,
Some happy day, some happy day. [Refrain]

4 Some happy day, ‘tis drawing near,
The tho’t my fainting soul doth cheer;
Sweet welcome from His lips to hear
Some happy day, some happy day. [Refrain]
