The Cyber Hymnal ‎#10453

10453. Meet Me There!

1 Meet me there! Oh, meet me there!
In the heav’nly world so fair,
Where our Lord has entered in,
And there comes no taint of sin;
With our friends of long ago,
Clad in raiment white as snow,
Such as all the ransomed wear—
Meet me there! Yes, meet me there!

2 Meet me there! Oh, meet me there!
Far beyond this world of care;
When this troubled life shall cease,
Meet me where is perfect peace;
Where our sorrows we lay down
For the kingdom and the crown,
Jesus doth a home prepare—
Meet me there! Yes, meet me there!

3 Meet me there! Oh, meet me there!
No bereavement we shall bear;
There no sighings for the dead,
There no farewell tear is shed;
We shall, safe from all alarms,
Clasp our loved ones in our arms,
And in Jesus’ glory share—
Meet me there! Yes, meet me there!
