Some Sweet Morn (Simpson)

lyricist: Albert Simpson, 1897
Composer: George Stebbins (1846–1945)

Some sweet morn the day will break

Nevermore to sink in night.

Some sweet morn we shall awake

Mid the ev­er­last­ing light.

We are wait­ing for the turn­ing of the morn­ing

We are watch­ing for the break­ing of the dawn;

Morn of morns

oh

haste thy glad ap­pear­ing!

Day of days

speed on

speed on

speed on!

Some sweet day the end shall come

To our part­ing and our pain

Some sweet day we’ll all go home

Nevermore to part again.

Some sweet hour our mor­tal frame

Shall His glo­ri­ous im­age wear.

Some sweet hour our worth­less name

All His ma­jes­ty shall share.

Some sweet day our tongue shall tell

All the sto­ry of His love.

Some sweet day our song shall swell

Loud and sweet as songs ab­ove.

Some sweet morn we’ll see His face

And we shall be sa­tis­fied.

Some sweet day in His em­brace

We shall ev­er­more ab­ide.
