Words & Music: J. O. Hill­yer.

If you know when this song was writ­ten, the au­thor’s full name, or where to get a pic­ture of him


Some sweet day my Lord will come,
Come to claim His own;
I shall meet Him face to face,
Before the Advent throne.

Refrain

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Like Him I shall be;
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
For I shall see Him as He is!

Some sweet day this body frail,
In a moment’s space,
Shall be changed and upward caught,
And stand before His face.

Refrain

Some sweet day my hand shall clasp
Those long gone before;
Press them to my heart with joy,
To part again no more.
