Joyful Lays ‎#76

76. Shall we Meet?

1 Say, shall we meet, and forever and ever,
Dwell with delight in the land of the fair—
Meet on the bank of the pure crystal river,
Enter the realms of the blest over there?

Refrain:
Yes, we shall meet, our Saviour to greet,
In that land so bright and fair, over there;
We shall meet and rejoice with our loved ones forever—
O how we long, how we long to be there!

2 Say, shall we find in that fair land immortal,
Those we have cherish'd but lost by the way?
Will they receive us with joy at the portal,
Holy and happy forever and aye? [Refrain]
