11413. I Shall See Them Again

1 I shall see them again in the light of the morning,
When the night has passed by with its tears and its mourning,
Where the light of God’s love is the sun ever shining,
In the land where the weary ones rest.

2 I shall know them again though ten thousand surround them,
I shall hear their dear voice ’midst the blessèd ones round them,
And the love that was theirs on the earth shall detect them,
In the land where the weary ones rest.

3 ’Twas their lives in the past helped to fill me with gladness,
And the future is Heaven, the home with no sadness,
Where I see them today clad in bright robes of whiteness,
In the land where the weary ones rest.

4 Would I wish for them back from their bright home in Heaven?
No! in patience I’ll wait till the veil shall be riven,
And the Savior restores me the friends He has given,
In the land where the weary ones rest.
