Lyrics

Some day a gladsome message
Will fall upon mine ear;
Some day His blessèd welcome
Will fill my heart with cheer.

Refrain

Some day, some day
The journey I’ll complete,
And when the Fa­ther calls me home,
I’ll rest at Je­sus’ feet.

Some day in yon blest haven,
I’ll walk with Him in white;
Some day re­demp­tion’s story
Will be my heart’s delight.

Refrain

Some day the noise of battle
Will greet my ears no more;
Some day I’ll walk triumphant
On Canaan’s happy shore.

Refrain

Some day I’ll meet my loved ones,
Who’ve passed to realms above;
Some day I’ll hear them singing
Sweet songs of Je­sus’ love.
