Sooner or later the skies will be bright,
Tears will be all wiped away; (away;)
Sooner or later, then cometh the lightt,
Night will be turned into day. (glad day.)

Sooner or later cares will have flown,
Sunshine and gladness we’ll see (we’ll see;)
Sooner ro later God calleth His own,
With Him forever to be. (to be.)

Sooner or later, our Lord knows the hour,
He’ll send His beloved Son; (His Son;)
Sooner or later, in His might and pow’r,
Our battles all will be won. (be won.)
CHORUS
3
Sooner or later, yes, sooner for some,
Darkness will all then be past; (be past;)
Sooner or later our Savior will come —
With Him will your lot be cast? (be cast?)
