Lyrics

Some day ’twill all be ov­er—
The toil and cares of life;
Some day the world be van­quished
With all this mor­tal strife;
Some day, the jour­ney ended,
I’ll lay my bur­den down;
Some day, in realms su­per­nal
Receive, at last, my crown.

Refrain

Some day, some hap­py day,
The Lord will wipe all tears away,
And I shall go to dwell with Him,
To dwell with Him, some hap­py day.

Some day I’ll see the man­sions
Of Hea­ven’s ci­ty fair;
Some day I’ll greet with plea­sure,
The dear ones wait­ing there;
Some day I’ll hear the voices
Of God’s an­gel­ic throng;
Some day I’ll join the chor­us
In Heav’n’s im­mor­tal song.

Refrain

Some day I’ll see the Sav­ior,
And know Him, face to face;
Some day re­ceive, un­mea­sured
The bless­ings of His grace;
Some day He’ll smile up­on me
From that white throne above;
Some day I’ll know the full­ness
Of His un­dy­ing love.

Refrain
