Representative Text

1 Some golden daybreak, some resplendent morn,
Life’s journey ended, all its burdens borne,
I shall awaken on that peaceful shore
Where pain and grief and sin will reach me nevermore.

Refrain:
Then I shall meet Him, meet my loving Saviour,
Who now is watching from His dwelling place above;
Then I will praise Him with a nobler song,
Praise Him more fully for His love,
His matchless love.

2 Some golden daybreak I shall wake to find
Hush’d ev’ry discord, sorrows left behind,
And Him who loves me dearly I shall see
Waiting to open wide the pearly gates for me. [Refrain]

3 Tho’ often dreary is the homeward road,
Bright is its ending in the soul’s abode;
Tho’ long the darkness, bright the dawn will be,
For my Redeemer will be waiting there for me. [Refrain]
