Lyrics

Though the way we journey may be often drear,
We shall see the King some day;
On that blessèd morning clouds will dis­ap­pear;
We shall see the King some day.

Refrain

We shall see the King some day,
When the clouds have rolled away;
Gathered ’round the throne,
When He shall call His own,
We shall see the King some day.

After pain and ang­uish, af­ter toil and care,
We shall see the King some day;
Through the end­less ag­es joy and bless­ing share,
We shall see the King some day.

Refrain

After foes are con­quered, after bat­tles won,
We shall see the King some day;
After strife is ov­er, af­ter set of sun,
We shall see the King some day.

Refrain

There with all the loved ones who have gone be­fore,
We shall see the King some day;
Sorrow past for­ev­er, on that peace­ful shore,
We shall see the King some day.
