Lyrics

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.
