Some Glad Sweet Day (Bilhorn)

Introduction

Some glad sweet day

the Mas­ter’s voice will call me

To lay aside this life of toil and care;

On joy­ful wing I’ll mount to realms of glo­ry—

And meet my bless­èd Sav­ior in the air.

Some glad sweet day

the jour­ney will be end­ed

And we shall see Him face to face;

Around the throne with voices sweet­ly blend­ing

We’ll sing the rich­es of His grace.

Some glad sweet day

the feet that have grown wea­ry

In tra­vel­ing thro’ this lone­ly vale of tears;

Will find re­pose beyond this land of sha­dows

And per­fect rest thro’ all the pass­ing years.

Take cour­age

soul

nor ev­er fear nor fal­ter

Thy Sav­ior will sup­ply abun­dant grace;

In that bright home where all is joy and glad­ness

There we shall meet the Sav­ior face to face.
