Linden Harp ‎#158

158. When shall we meet again?

1 When shall we meet again?
Meet ne'er to sever?
When will peace wreath her chain
Bound us forever?

Chorus:
Our hearts will ne'er repose,
Safe from each blast that blows,
In this dark vale of woe,
Never, no, never; no, no, never.

2 When shall love freely flow,
Pure as life's river?
When shall sweet friendship glow,
Changeless forever?

Chorus:
Where joys celestial thrill,
Where bliss each heart shall fill,
And fears of parting chill,
Never, no, never; no, no, never.

3 Up to that world of light,
Take us, dear Saviour;
May we all there unite,
Happy forever;

Chorus:
Where kindred spirits dwell,
There may our music swell,
And time our joys dispel,
Never, no, never; no, no, never.

4 Soon shall we meet again,
Meet ne'er to sever;
Soon will peace wreath her chain
Round us forever.
Our hearts will then repose
Safe from all worldly woes,
Our days of praise shall close,
Never, no, never.
