Dedicated to W. H. Doane, composer of the first “Some Sweet Day.”
“I go to prepare a place for you; and if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also.”—John 14: 2, 3. —F. E. BELDEN.
1. We shall meet beyond the skies, Some sweet day, some sweet day; Gaze no more in tearful eyes,
2. There will be no vacant chair, Some sweet day, some sweet day; Nor a mourning circle, there,
3. Winter’s frost or summer’s heat, Some sweet day, some sweet day; Make no harvest incomplete,
REFRAIN.
Some sweet day, some sweet day. We shall clasp our own again, Free from sorrow, sin, and pain;
Some sweet day, some sweet day. Death shall hear its note of doom, Christ shall burst the sealed tomb,
Some sweet day, some sweet day. Eden bloom is ev’rywhere, Fadeless flow’rs perfume the air,
We shall wish no more in vain, Some sweet day, some sweet day.
Dust shall wake in beauty’s bloom, Some sweet day, some sweet day.
Christ himself the sunlight fair, Some sweet day, some sweet day.
4. Mansion, crown, and harp of gold, Some sweet day, some sweet day; Songs that never shall grow old, Some sweet day, some sweet day. Joy shall bid farewell to Care, Praise shall sing no more with Prayer, Love shall lead us, over there, Some sweet day, some sweet day.

Words of Commendation for “Christ in Song Hymnal.”
I am greatly pleased with “Christ in Song,” and hope that it may be extensively used.—MRS. L. FLORA PLUMMER, Des Moines, Iowa.
Think it is a success. Have looked over the collection, and find many of my old favorites, which I have always remembered since I left the Episcopal Church; I know that the best have been culled from that church’s hymnology. The new songs are all good ones. Altogether, it is the finest collection of hymns I have ever found in a Sabbath-school song book, and the price is low. I hope that many may be sold.—JOSEPHINE GRANNIS, Secretary Florida Tract Society, Orlando, Fla.
We are very much pleased with the book, and think it will give good satisfaction wherever used.—NEW YORK TRACT SOCIETY, Rome, N. Y.
We regard the binding and general make-up of the book all that could be asked for in one of the kind.—S. D. HARTWELL, Fond du Lac, Wis.
We are much pleased with it, and will order a good supply.—TEXAS TRACT SOCIETY, Dallas, Tex.
We note the many excellent points of “Christ in Song.” We have given it a careful examination, and unhesitatingly pronounce it the best Sabbath-school song book we have ever examined.—UPPER COLUMBIA TRACT SOCIETY, College Place, Wash.
Very nicely arranged and very complete. Will fill a long-realized need.—H. W. COTTRELL, Pres. New England Conference.
