Author: L. B. B. Hymnal: The Modern Hymnal #268 (1926) First Line: Some day I'll cross the mystic stream Refrain First Line: There'll be no sorrow there Lyrics: 1 Some day I’ll cross the mystic stream,
It won’t be long, it may be soon;
Some day I’ll lay my burdens down,
It won’t be long, it may be soon;
Some day I’ll reach the golden shore,
And dwell with Jesus evermore,
I’ll meet the ones who’ve gone before,
It won’t be long, it may be soon.
Refrain:
There’ll be no sorrow there,
There’ll be no sorrow there,
In heav’n above, where all is love.
2 Some day this mortal life shall cease,
It won’t be long, it may be soon;
Some day I’ll see my Savior’s face,
It won’t be long, it may be soon;
Some day I’ll leave this vale of tears,
Forget the struggles of long years,
I’ll know no sorrow, pain, nor fears;
It won’t be long, it may be soon. [Refrain]
3 He’s coming back with glory rare,
It won’t be long, it may be soon;
We’ll rise to meet Him in the air,
It won’t be long, it may be soon;
If He should call me, this I know:
I’m saved and ready now to go,
I’m waiting with my heart aglow;
It won’t be long, it may be soon. [Refrain]
4 Then as you travel on life’s way,
Thro’ waters deep, or billows’ foam;
You may have Jesus as your stay,
He’ll walk with you and lead you home.
O brother, will you let Him in?
He’ll save and keep you free from sin,
Till heaven’s door you enter in;
It won’t be long, it may be soon. [Refrain] Topics: Heaven Languages: English Tune Title: [Some day I'll cross the mystic stream]

Luther B. Bridgers
1884 - 1948 Person Name: L. B. B. Author of "Some Day, It Won’t Be Long" in The Modern Hymnal Luther Burgess Bridgers Born at Margarettsville, NC, son of a minister who conducted revival meetings, he assisted his father conducting meetings (1904-1913). He attended Asbury College at Wilmore, KY, and met his wife, Sarah Jane (Sallie) Veatch in 1905 while there. They had three sons: Luther Hughes, Allen Veatch, and James Marvin. He pastored Methodist Episcopal congregations in KY, NC, and GA, first pastoring in Perry, FL, before doing evangelistic work. He evangelized in the southern U S. He was also known for his fine singing voice and would sing at each meeting. Tragedy struck while he was conducting a revival in Middlesboro, KY, in 1911. Having left his wife and three sons to visit his wife’s parents while he was away, he learned that they had all perished in a house fire. In 1914 he remarried to Aline Winburn, and they had a son, Luther B Jr. After WW1 he took part in missionary outreaches to Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Poland and Russia. He often spoke to large crowds and saw many come to Christ. In 1914 he was also named ‘General Evangelist’ of his denomination. In 1921 Asbury College awarded him an honorary DD degree for his evangelistic efforts. He pastored at several Methodist churches in the Atlanta, GA, area, then briefly at a Methodist church at Morehead, NC. After his long ministry, ending in 1945, he retired and moved to Gainesville, GA, where he eventually died. He was known as ‘Melody Man’. He penned a number of hymns, eight of which were published in Charlie Tillman’s ‘The Revival No. 6’. His most famous, noted below, borrowed a tune from a popular song of the time, ‘Melody of Love’.
