We’ll enter our beautiful home up in glory,
Some day, some day;
With all the redeemed ones we’ll sing the sweet story
Some day, some sweet day.
Refrain
Some day we’ll meet on that golden shore;
O brother, get ready it may be tomorrow,
That day, that blest day.
We’ll lay down our burdens of toil and of sorrow,
Some day, some day;
And singing come down to death’s river so narrow,
Some day, some sweet day.
Refrain
We’ll meet the dear Savior who waiteth our coming,
Some day, some day;
Where angels in glory the green fields are roaming,
Some day, some sweet day.
Refrain
We’ll rest with the ransomed beside the bright river,
Some day, some day;
We’ll join them in singing God’s praises forever,
Some day, some sweet day.
