Lyrics

Sweet is the hope that is thrill­ing my soul—
I know I’ll see Je­sus some day!
Then what if the dark clouds of sin o’er me roll,
I know I’ll see Je­sus some day!

Refrain

I know I’ll see Je­sus some day!
I know I’ll see Je­sus some day!
What a joy it will be
When His face I shall see,
I know I’ll see Je­sus some day!

Though I must tra­vel by faith, not by sight,
I know I’ll see Je­sus some day!
No ev­il can harm me, no foe can af­fright—
I know I’ll see Je­sus some day!

Refrain

Darkness is gath’ring, but hope shines with­in,
I know I’ll see Je­sus some day!
What joy when He comes to wipe out ev’ry sin;
I know I’ll see Je­sus some day!
