158. Some Other Day

1 Some other day—when portals wide
Their mystic vales unfold,
‘Tis then I’ll stand by Jesus’ side,
And all His love behold.

Refrain:
‘Tis then I’ll understand the past,
‘Tis then I’ll see and know
Why pleasures come but do not last,
Why sorrows deeper grow.

2 Some other day, when all the years
That swiftly come and go,
I’ll know whence came these bitter tears,
Tears that forbidden flow. [Refrain]

3 Some other day I’ll know the pow’r
That dealt with me while here,
That sent me peace form Love’s own bow’r,
To take away my fear. [Refrain]

4 Some other day, so fair and bright,
Some day not far away,
Help me till then as in Thy sight,
To live for Thee each day. [Refrain]
