1 Sometime, somewhere, yes, some sweet day,
Where sin and sorrow have passed away,

Where cloud nor mist bedim the fair dawn,
There light from the throne, the light of God’s Son,
Shall fall on our faces some sweet day.

We’ll join the blood-washed, blissful as they,
To sing the "new song" and praise the dear name,
Of our blest Redeemer, some sweet day.
