On some sweet day, in time to come,
Our wrongs will then be right­ed,
And peace and joy will vi­sit us,
Both wel­come guests in­vit­ed.

Refrain

Yes, some sweet day, in God’s own time,
We’ll ne­ver know a sor­row;
For peace and joy will reign su­preme
In God’s own time, to­mor­row.

The dawn of day will bring no pain,
The ev­en­ing shades no sor­row,
For love will reign in hearts of men,
In God’s own time, to­mor­row.

Refrain

When death shall close these wea­ry orbs,
And spir­its soar to Hea­ven,
In gaz­ing back we’ll mar­vel at
The mer­cy God hath given.

Refrain

We’ll won­der why we doubt­ed Him,
Why oft we mur­mured sad­ly,
The bur­dens then will seem so light
We’ll wish we’d borne them glad­ly.

Refrain

The things that now seem mys­ter­ies,
We’ll un­der­stand all clear­ly;
Then how we’ll wish with all our hearts,
We’d loved Him far more dear­ly.
