Representative Text

1 Be not aweary for labor will cease
Some glad morning.
Turmoil will change into infinite peace,
Some glad morning.

Refrain:
Some bright morning, Some glad morning,
When the sun is shining in th'eternal sky;
Some bright morning, Some glad morning,
We shall see the Lord of Harvest, by and by.

2 Wearisome burdens will all be laid down,
Some glad morning.
Then shall our cross be exchanged for a crown,
Some glad morning. [Refrain]

3 Labor well done shall receive its reward,
Some glad morning.
Thou who art faithful shall be with the Lord,
Some bright morning. [Refrain]

4 O what a time of rejoicing will come,
Some glad morning.
When all the ransomed are gathered at home,
Some glad morning. [Refrain]

5 There with the loved ones who've gone on before,
Some glad morning.
We shall sing praise to the Lamb evermore,
Some glad morning. [Refrain]
