Representative Text

1. There is a land our eyes shall see,
Some sweet day, some sweet day;
Where we shall dwell, dear Lord, with Thee,
Some sweet day, some sweet day.

Refrain
Some sweet day, some sweet day,
We shall dwell in Glory Land;
Some sweet day, some sweet day
With the ransomed we shall stand.

2. From care and toil we shall be free,
Some sweet day, some sweet day;
Eternal joy in Heav’n ’twill be,
Some sweet day, some sweet day. [Refrain]

3. Around the throne we’ll sing His praise,
Some sweet day, some sweet day;
Aloud the great hosannas raise,
Some sweet day, some sweet day. [Refrain]

4. We’ll meet the loved ones gone before,
Some sweet day, some sweet day;
To know and greet them as of yore,
Some sweet day, some sweet day. [Refrain]
