Some Glad Day

I shall lay the cross aside

Some day

some glad day;

Safely pass to Ca­naan’s side

Some day

some glad day;

If I live a life of pray­er

And the cross for Je­sus bear

I a glo­ri­ous crown shall wear

Some day

some glad day.

I the sin­ner’s friend shall see

Some day

some glad day;

See the wounds once made for me

Some day

some glad day;

I shall press close to His side

Who for me was cru­ci­fied

And shall then be sa­tis­fied

Some day

some glad day.

I shall meet the friends of yore

Some day

some glad day;

And with them the Lamb adore

Some day

some glad day;

There at Je­sus’ sac­red feet

Saints of ev­ery clime I’ll meet

Hold with them com­mun­ion sweet

Some day

some glad day.

I shall lean on Je­sus’ breast

Some day

some glad day;

Find a sweet

a per­fect rest

Some day

some glad day;

On that bright eter­nal shore

All our sor­rows will be o’er;

We shall meet to part no more.

Some day

some glad day.
