Lyrics

God’s to­mor­row is a day of glad­ness,
And its joys shall ne­ver fade;
No more weep­ing, no more sense of sad­ness,
No more foes to make afraid.

Refrain

God’s to­mor­row, God’s to­mor­row,
Every cloud will pass away
At the dawn­ing of that day;
God’s to­mor­row, no more so­rrow,
For I know that God’s to­mor­row
Will be bright­er than to­day!

God’s to­mor­row is a day of greet­ing:
We shall see the Sav­ior’s face;
And our long­ing hearts await the meet­ing
In that ho­ly, hap­py place.

Refrain

God’s to­mor­row is a day of glo­ry:
We shall wear the crown of life;
Sing thro’ count­less years love’s old, old sto­ry,
Free for­ev­er from all strife.
