Some Glad Sweet Day (Slausen)

Some day

I know not where or when

Beyond the driv­ing tem­pest’s blast

Within a qui­et har­bor bar

I shall cast an­chor

safe at last.

Some day

some day

some glad sweet day

I shall with joy His face be­hold;

Some day shall safe at an­chor lay

Some day shall walk the streets of gold.

Some day

full soon

sweet Ed­en’s shore

May burst upon my rap­tured sight

And I shall see the glo­ry-land

Bathed in the Lamb’s eter­nal light.

For Him who faced the howl­ing wind

And stilled the waves of Ga­li­lee

Will safe­ly guide my storm tossed bark

Across life’s dark tem­pes­tu­ous sea

And tho’ it hath not been re­vealed

Where Heav­en’s gold-paved high­way be

I know that I shall one day dwell

With Him whose blood was shed for me.
