Lyrics

Sometime, some­where, yes, some sweet day,
Where sin and sor­row have passed away,
With joy in our hearts, and songs on our tongues,
We’ll rest in our Sav­ior some sweet day.

Sometime, some­where, yes, some glad morn,
Where cloud nor mist be­dim the fair dawn,
There light from the throne, the light of God’s Son,
Shall fall on our fac­es some sweet day.

Sometime, some­where, yes, some glad day,
We’ll join the blood-washed, bliss­ful as they,
To sing the new song and praise the dear name,
Of our blest Re­deem­er, some sweet day.
