Some Day Beyond the Valley

Representative Text

1 Some day, beyond the silent valley,
Where sounds no mortal word,
Sweet voices speaking to our spirits,
In welcome will be heard.

Refrain:
Some blessèd day beyond the valley,
We’ll reach the heav’nly height,
With souls redeemed to dwell forever
In never fading light.

2 Some day, beyond the somber valley,
The vale so still and dim,
We shall behold our Savior’s glory,
And we shall be like Him. [Refrain]

3 Some day, beyond the lonely valley,
Where none can with us go,
We’ll join the throng of bright immortals,
Their holy rapture know. [Refrain]

4 Some day, beyond the dismal valley,
When earthly strife is o’er,
We’ll sing the glad new song of Heaven,
Rejoicing evermore. [Refrain]
