Lyrics

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.
