If you know where to get a good photo of Matthews (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
Some day the journey will be done,
Somewhere we’ll find a promised rest;
Some day all sorrow turn to joy,
Somewhere, some day we shall be blest.
Refrain
Some day, some day,
Somewhere, the place we cannot see;
Some day, some day,
Somewhere the Savior waits for me.
Some day we’ll meet our loved and lost,
Somewhere in some far brighter land;
Some day we’ll sing the new, new song,
And join with praise an angel band.
Refrain
Some day our Lord will call us home,
Somewhere we’ll lay our burden down;
Some day, if we have faithful been,
Somewhere we will receive a crown.
