Somewhere
Author: James Rowe Hymnal: The New Praiseworthy #210 (1916) First Line: Somewhere, beyond the hills of life Refrain First Line: Somewhere, I know that I shall see Lyrics: 1 Somewhere, beyond the hills of life,
And all the bounds of sin and strive;
Where gates are pearl and streets are gold,
My Savior I shall then behold.
Chorus:
Somewhere, i know that I shall see,-
Jesus,- who gave His life for me;
Somewhere, when He will call me, I will go
To Him, because He loves me so.
2 Somewhere, the angels sing His praise,
And throngs their glad hosannas raise;
The hands once nailed to Cal'v'ry's tree
Will be outstretched to welcome me. [Chorus]
3 Somewhere, my life so sweet and fair,
His glory I shall always share;
And there with Him and all the blest,
Forevermore my soul shall rest [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Somewhere, beyond the hills of life]
