The New Praiseworthy ‎#79

79. We Shall See the King Some Day

1 'Tho the way we journey may be often drear,
We shall see the King some day; (some day;)
On that blessed morning clouds will disappear;
We shall see the King some day.

Chorus:
We shall see the King some day, (some day,)
When the clouds have rolled away; (away;)
Gathered 'round the throne,
When He shall call His own,
We shall see the King some day.

2 After pain and anguish, after toil and care,
We shall see the King some day; (some day;)
Thro' the endless ages joy and blessing share,
We shall see the King some day. [Chorus]

3 After foes are conquered, after battles won,
We shall see the King some day; (some day;)
After strife is over, after set of sun,
We shall see the King some day. [Chorus]

4 There with all the loved ones who have gone before,
We shall see the King some day; (some day;)
Sorrow past forever, on that peaceful shore,
We shall see the King some day. [Chorus]
