Linden Harp ‎#65

65. The happy meeting

1 Here we suffer grief and pain,
Here we meet to part again;
In heaven we part no more.

Chorus:
O that will be joyful,
joyful, joyful, joyful!
O that will be joyful,
When we meet to part no more.

2 All who love the Lord below,
When they die to heaven will go,
And sing with saints above. [Chorus]

3 Holy children will be there,
Who have sought the Lord by prayer,
From every Sunday school. [Chorus]

4 Teachers, too, shall meet above,
And our pastors, whom we love,
Shall meet to part no more. [Chorus]

5 O how happy we shall be,
For our Saviour we shall see
Exalted on his throne! [Chorus]

6 There we all shall sing with joy,
And eternity employ
In praising Christ the Lord. [Chorus]
