Some Day, It Won’t Be Long

Some day I’ll cross the mys­tic stream

It won’t be long

it may be soon;

Some day I’ll lay my bur­dens down

It won’t be long

it may be soon.

Some day I’ll reach the gold­en shore

And dwell with Je­sus ev­er more;

I’ll meet the ones who’ve gone be­fore;

It won’t be long

it may be soon.

Some day this mor­tal life shall cease

It won’t be long

it may be soon;

Some day I’ll see my Sav­ior’s face

It won’t be long

it may be soon.

Some day I’ll leave this vale of tears

Forget the strug­gles of long years;

I’ll know no sor­row

pain nor fears;

It won’t be long

it may be soon.

He’s coming back with glo­ry rare

It won’t be long

it may be soon;

We’ll rise to meet Him in the air

It won’t be long

it may be soon.

If He should call me

this I know:

I’m saved and rea­dy now to go;

I’m wait­ing with my heart aglow;

It won’t be long

it may be soon.

Then

as you travel on life’s way

Thro’ wa­ters deep or bil­lows’ foam;

You may have Je­sus as your stay

He’ll walk with you and lead you home.

O bro­ther

will you let Him in?

He’ll save and keep you free from sin

Till Heav­en’s door you en­ter in;

It won’t be long

it may be soon.

There’ll be no sor­row there

There’ll be no sor­row there;

In Heav­en ab­ove where all is love

There’ll be no sor­row there.
