I hear a song,
a song so sweet,
I try all vainly to repeat
Its melody, and trusting say,
I’ll sing it, if God will, some day.
Some day, some
happy day to be,
My voice will learn its melody,
And I shall sing the songs so sweet
Of rest and heaven at Jesus’ feet.
Some day my journey
will be done,
Earth will be lost and heaven won;
And when the long,
rough way is trod,
I shall behold my Saviour God.
Some day, some
happy day to be,
My voice will learn its melody,
And I shall sing the songs so sweet
Of rest and heaven at Jesus’ feet.
“Some day,” I say,
content to wait
The opening of the jasper gate—
Come soon or late, that day will be
The dawn of endless rest to me.
Some day, some
happy day to be,
My voice will learn its melody,
And I shall sing the songs so sweet
Of rest and heaven at Jesus’ feet.
When comes the time
for me to go,
The homeward path
I may not know;
But in God’s hand my own I’ll lay,
And He will lead
me home “some day.”
Some day, some
happy day to be,
My voice will learn its melody,
And I shall sing the songs so sweet
Of rest and heaven at Jesus’ feet.
