Some Day (Rexford)

I hear a song

a song so sweet

I try all vain­ly to re­peat

Its me­lo­dy and feel­ing say

I’ll sing it if God wills some day.

Some day

some hap­py day to be

My voice will learn its me­lo­dy

And I shall sing the song so sweet

Of rest and Heav’n at Je­sus’ feet.

Some day my jour­ney will be done

Earth will be lost and Heav­en won;

And when the long rough way is trod

I shall be­hold the face of God.

Some day

I say

con­tent to wait

The op­en­ing of the jas­per gate

Come soon or late that day will be

The dawn of end­less rest to me.

When comes the time for me to go

The home­ward path I may not know

But in God’s hand my own I’ll lay

And He will lead me home some day.
