Lyrics

We shall have a won­drous home in glo­ry,
Some glad day, some glad day,
Where we’ll sing with saints the bless­èd sto­ry,
Some glad day when Je­sus comes.
When He comes, O how I long to meet Him!
Some glad day! Some glad day!
When He comes, O how I long to meet Him!
Some glad day when Je­sus comes.

All earth’s sin and strife will then be end­ed,
Some glad day, some glad day,
When to Hea­ven’s home we have as­cend­ed,
Some glad day when Je­sus comes.
Glory, glo­ry ’twill be joy to greet Him!
Some glad day! Some glad day!
Glory, glo­ry ’twill be joy to greet Him!
Some glad day when Je­sus comes.

Blessèd thought we’ll sweet­ly rest for­ev­er,
Some glad day, some glad day,
After we have crossed be­yond the ri­ver,
Some glad day when Je­sus comes.
O ’twill be joy to greet Him!
Some glad day! Some glad day!
O…’twill be joy to greet Him!
Some glad day when Je­sus comes.
