Some day

Representative Text

1 O let us look beyond this life and heaven see,
Where we shall be as one in Christ,
Some day, some day.

Chorus:
We'll go where Jesus is some day, some day;
With all the saints to dwell some day, some day.

2 O let us look from care away, and cheerful be,
We'll taste the joys that shall be ours,
Some day, some day. [Chorus]

3 O let us look to Christ our Lord, the only way,
To realms of peace where we shall go,
Some day, some day. [Chorus]
