Shall We Meet Them.
Shall we meet them, you and I,
In the glorious by and by?
In those realms where endless happiness is known,
Shall we greet each smiling face?
In the dear accustomed place,
Murmuring low the tender names of days agone.
In the glorious by and by?
In those realms where endless happiness is known,
Shall we greet each smiling face?
In the dear accustomed place,
Murmuring low the tender names of days agone.
Shall we hear the voice of love,
In the Eden land above?
Shall our lips their tender loving words repeat?
Shall our hands clasp closer still?
While our hearts with rapture thrill,
And we lay our every burden at His feet.
In the Eden land above?
Shall our lips their tender loving words repeat?
Shall our hands clasp closer still?
While our hearts with rapture thrill,
And we lay our every burden at His feet.
He, the crowning one of all,
Blessed Saviour at thy call
How Thy children hasten up the shining strand.
As we lay our burdens down,
Lo! He reaches forth the crown,
And His smiles make glad the bright eternal land.
Blessed Saviour at thy call
How Thy children hasten up the shining strand.
As we lay our burdens down,
Lo! He reaches forth the crown,
And His smiles make glad the bright eternal land.
Shall we know each other there?
Where the white robed angels fair,
Bring their records daily from this world of pain?
While the shadows fade away,
And the dawn becomes the day,
And the love of Christ has wiped away each stain.
Where the white robed angels fair,
Bring their records daily from this world of pain?
While the shadows fade away,
And the dawn becomes the day,
And the love of Christ has wiped away each stain.
