The Morning Star ‎#120

120. When we hear the music ringing

1 When we hear the music ringing
In the bright, celestial dome,
When sweet angel voices singing,
Gladly bid us welcome home
To the land of ancient story,
Where the spirit knows no care,
In that land of light and glory,
Shall we know each other there?

2 When the holy angels meet us,
As we go to join their band,
Shall we know the friends that greet us
In that glorious spirit land?
Shall we see the same eyes shining
On us as in days of yore?
Shall we feel their dear arms twining
Fondly round us as before?

3 Oh, ye weary, sad, and tossed ones,
Droop not, faint not by the way;
You shall join the loved and just ones
In the land of perfect day.
Harp-strings, touched by angel fingers,
Murmured, in my raptured ear--
Evermore their sweet song lingers--
We shall know each other there.
