Sometime the shadows will be gone;
Sometime will come the golden dawn;
Sometime I’ll lift mine eyes and see
The mansions He’s prepared for me.
Refrain
O golden time, O happy day,
O precious home not far away;
What wondrous joy when I shall see
The mansion He’s prepared for me.
Sometime I’ll meet my friends again,
Forever safe from death and pain;
With my dear Savior I shall be
In mansions He’s prepared for me.
Refrain
O grace divine! O love untold!
O crowns of life! O harps of gold!
My welcome will be glad and free
In mansions He’s prepared for me.
Refrain
