Sometime

When we lay our burdens down,

1

When we lay our burdens down,Sometime, sometime;When we take the harp and crownIn that city of renown,We shall sing, sometime,Sometime, sometime.

2

Echo (tenor and bass, after the second verse line of every stanza).Sometime, sometime;

Refrain.

We shall sing, sometime,We shall sing, sometime,Where the heart is never sad,Where the dwellers all are glad;In that happy, Eden clime,We shall meet, sometime.

2

We shall join the angel throngSometime, sometime;We shall raise a joyful songThrough the endless ages long,—We shall sing, sometime,Sometime, sometime.

3

We shall see the city fair,Sometime, sometime;We shall dwell forever there,Free from sorrow, sin and care,In the glad sometime,Sometime, sometime.

4

We shall meet to part no more,Sometime, sometime;On that blest immortal shore,Where the reign of death is o'er,We shall meet, sometime,Sometime, sometime.

5

In that bright, eternal day,—Sometime, sometime;Tears shall all be wiped away,And we nevermore shall say"We shall sing, sometime,"Sometime, sometime.
