Some day, when all my heartaches cease,
And I shall rest in perfect peace;
Where pain and care cannot annoy,
Then sweetest pleasures I’ll enjoy.
Refrain
And I’ll be satisfied, yes, I’ll be satisfied,
When I shall stand redeemed by grace;
And I’ll be satisfied, yes, I’ll be satisfied,
When I shall see Him face to face.
Some day, these weary eyes will close,
And I shall sink to sweet repose;
Then I shall wake in glad surprise,
And in my Savior’s image rise.
Refrain
Some day, when burdens are laid down,
And I receive the victor’s crown;
I shall be free from every fear,
And God will wipe away each tear.
Refrain
Some day, when on my listening ear,
Shall fall the song of heav’nly cheer;
When I shall tread the golden street,
And there my precious loved ones greet.
