Lyrics

Some day, when all life’s surg­es
And storms of time are o’er,
Our bark shall safe­ly an­chor
On Ca­naan’s peace­ful shore;
Some day, when all the tu­mult
And din of war shall cease,
The saints shall all be ga­thered
Within the port of peace.

Refrain

Some day, O joy­ful day!
This world shall pass away;
Upon that fair ce­les­ti­al shore,
We’ll meet to part no more.

Some day, in realms of glo­ry
My Sav­ior I shall see,
And tell the won­drous sto­ry
Of Him who died for me;
Some day I’ll join the chor­us
Of an­gel choirs above,
Some day with all the ran­somed
I’ll sing His death­less love.

Refrain

Some day, I’ll meet the loved ones
Who long have passed away,
And ne­ve­rmore be part­ed
Through Heav’n’s eter­nal day;
Some day, ar­rayed in bright­ness,
The Lamb shall I be­hold;
Some day in robes of white­ness
I’ll walk the streets of gold.
