Lyrics

Some day, be­yond the si­lent val­ley,
Where sounds no mor­tal word,
Sweet voic­es speak­ing to our spir­its,
In wel­come will be heard.

Refrain

Some bless­èd day be­yond the val­ley,
We’ll reach the heav’n­ly height,
With souls re­deemed to dwell for­ev­er
In ne­ver fad­ing light.

Some day, be­yond the som­ber val­ley,
The vale so still and dim,
We shall be­hold our Sav­ior’s glo­ry,
And we shall be like Him.

Refrain

Some day, beyond the lone­ly val­ley,
Where none can with us go,
We’ll join the throng of bright im­mor­tals,
Their ho­ly rap­ture know.

Refrain

Some day, beyond the dis­mal val­ley,
When earth­ly strife is o’er,
We’ll sing the glad new song of Hea­ven,
Rejoicing ev­er­more.
