There waits for me a glad tomorrow
Where gates of pearl swing open wide
And when I've passed this vale of sorrow
I'll dwell upon the other side

Some day beyond the reach of mortal ken
Some day God only knows just where and when
The wheels of mortal life shall all stand still
And I shall go to dwell on Zion's hill

Some day I'll hear the angels singing
Beyond the shadows of the tomb;
And all the bells of heaven ringing
While saints are singing, "Home, sweet home."

Some day my labors will be ended
And all my wand'rings will be o'er
And all earth's broken ties be mended
And I shall sigh and weep no more

Some day the dark clouds will be rifted
And all the night of gloom be past;
And all life's burdens will be lifted
The day of rest shall dawn at last
