Lyrics

Some hap­py day, mine eyes shall see,
The face of Him who died for me;
I’ll praise Him thro’ eter­ni­ty,
Some hap­py day, some hap­py day.

Refrain

Some hap­py day, some hap­py day,
The Lord will wipe our tears away,
And we shall see Him as He is,
Some hap­py day, some hap­py day.

Some hap­py day, I too shall sing
The song that makes all Hea­ven ring;
Worthy the Lamb, our Lord and king,
Some hap­py day, some hap­py day.

Refrain

Some hap­py day, O bless­èd thought,
The race is run, the bat­tle fought;
We’ll join the throng by His blood bought,
Some hap­py day, some hap­py day.

Refrain

Some hap­py day, ‘tis draw­ing near,
The thought my faint­ing soul doth cheer;
Sweet wel­come from His lips to hear
Some hap­py day, some hap­py day.
