Some Golden Daybreak Jesus Will Come

By Carl A. Blackmore

Lyrics

1. Some glorious morning sorrow will cease,
Some glorious morning all will be peace;
Heartaches all ended, school-days all done,
Heaven will open Jesus will come.

Refrain:
Some golden daybreak Jesus will come;
Some golden daybreak, battles all won,
He'll shout the vict'ry, break thro' the blue,
Some golden daybreak, for me, for you.

2 Sad hearts will gladden, all shall be bright,
Goodbye forever to earth's dark night;
Changed in a moment, like Him to be,
Oh, glorious daybreak, Jesus I'll see,

3 Oh, what a meeting, there in the skies,
No tears nor crying shall dim our eyes;
Loved ones united eternally,
Oh, what a daybreak that morn will be.

About This Hymn

"Some Golden Daybreak" is a joyful gospel hymn written by Carl A. Blackmore in 1934, with music composed by George W. Schuler. The hymn expresses the Christian’s eager anticipation of Christ’s second coming, portraying it as a “golden daybreak” when sorrow, sin, and separation will end forever.

Blackmore’s lyrics focus on the hope and certainty of the believer’s meeting with the Lord, whether through resurrection or rapture, in accordance with the promise found in 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17. The refrain reinforces the sense of sudden joy, victory over death, and eternal reunion with Christ and loved ones.

The tune by George W. Schuler is bright, triumphant, and well-suited to congregational singing, making the hymn a favorite in revival services, prophecy conferences, and evangelistic meetings during the mid-20th century. Its message continues to resonate with believers who look forward to Christ’s promised return, offering comfort amid trials and motivation for faithful living.
