lyrics

Sahlgáang Sáandlaan sdílgang
There is coming a day

Tláan gudangáay st'igáng
When no heart aches shall come

Gám awáan yáanangaa
No more clouds in the sky

Tláan dalang sGáyhlaa!
No more tears to dim the eye

Xánts ‘Laas. tla hlgat'as
All is peace forever more

Tlagwáad 'láa xusdliyée íijang
On that happy golden shore

Sáandlaan 'wáadluwaan gudangáay 'láagang.
What a day, glorious day that will be.

(Chorus)
Sáandlaan gudangáay ‘láagang

What a day that will be

Tlíisdluwaan Jesus hl kíngsaang
When my Jesus I shall see

Dii Saláanaa kínggang
And I look upon His face

Hal dii kagándaasaang 

The One who saved me by His grace

Gin Hal stláang hl gitsgat isdáa
When He takes me by the hand

Sáa Tlagáay Gál kats'a
And leads me to the Promised Land

Sáandlaan háaníisgwáa isgyaan gudangáay ‘láagang.

What a day, glorious day that will be.
