Lyrics

We’ll enter our beau­ti­ful home up in glo­ry,
Some day, some day;
With all the redeemed ones we’ll sing the sweet story
Some day, some sweet day.

Refrain

Some day we’ll meet on that golden shore;
O brother, get rea­dy it may be tomorrow,
That day, that blest day.

We’ll lay down our burdens of toil and of sorrow,
Some day, some day;
And singing come down to death’s river so narrow,
Some day, some sweet day.

Refrain

We’ll meet the dear Sav­ior who waiteth our coming,
Some day, some day;
Where angels in glo­ry the green fields are roaming,
Some day, some sweet day.

Refrain

We’ll rest with the ransomed beside the bright river,
Some day, some day;
We’ll join them in singing God’s praises for­ev­er,
Some day, some sweet day.
