Some Joyful Day

Some day

when all life’s surg­es

And storms of time are o’er

Our bark shall safe­ly an­chor

On Ca­naan’s peace­ful shore;

Some day

when all the tu­mult

And din of war shall cease

The saints shall all be ga­thered

Within the port of peace.

Some day

O joy­ful day!

This world shall pass away;

Upon that fair ce­les­ti­al shore

We’ll meet to part no more.

Some day

in realms of glo­ry

My Sav­ior I shall see

And tell the won­drous sto­ry

Of Him who died for me;

Some day I’ll join the chor­us

Of an­gel choirs ab­ove

Some day with all the ran­somed

I’ll sing His death­less love.

Some day

I’ll meet the loved ones

Who long have passed away

And ne­ve­rmore be part­ed

Through Heav’n’s eter­nal day;

Some day

ar­rayed in bright­ness

The Lamb shall I be­hold;

Some day in robes of white­ness

I’ll walk the streets of gold.
