Shall we meet beyond the river. Where the surges cease to roll ? Where, in all the bright " for ever," Sorrow ne'er shall press the soul ?
Shall we meet ? shall we meet ? Shall we meet ? shall we meet ? Shall we meet beyond the river, Where the surges cease to roll ?
2. Shall we meet in that blest harbour, When our stormy voyage is o'er ? Shall we meet and cast the anchor By the fair celestial shore ?
3. Shall we meet in yonder city, Where the towers of crystal shine ? Where the walls are all of jasper, Built by workmanship divine ? â
4. Where the music of the ransomed Rolls its harmony around, And creation swells the chorus With its sweet melodious sound ?
5. Shall we meet with many a loved one That was torn from our embrace ? Shall we listen to their voices, And behold them face to face ?
6. Shall we meet with Christ our Saviour, When He comes to claim His own ? Shall we know His blessed favour, And sit down upon His throne ?
