I hear a song, a song so sweet,
I try all vain­ly to re­peat
Its me­lo­dy and feel­ing say
I’ll sing it if God wills some day.

Refrain

Some day, some hap­py day to be,
My voice will learn its me­lo­dy,
And I shall sing the song so sweet,
Of rest and Heav’n at Je­sus’ feet.

Some day my jour­ney will be done,
Earth will be lost and Hea­ven won;
And when the long rough way is trod
I shall be­hold the face of God.

Refrain

Some day, I say, con­tent to wait
The op­en­ing of the jas­per gate,
Come soon or late that day will be
The dawn of end­less rest to me.

Refrain

When comes the time for me to go,
The home­ward path I may not know,
But in God’s hand my own I’ll lay,
And He will lead me home some day.

Refrain
