Minnetonka Songs ‎#120

120. Shall We Meet Beyond the River

1 Shall we meet beyond the river,
Where the surges cease to roll,
Where, in all the bright forever,
Sorrow ne'er shall press the soul?

Chorus:
Yes, we'll meet, yes, we'll meet,
Where the surges cease to roll;
Yes, we'll meet beyond the river,
Where the surges cease to roll.

2 Shall we meet with many a loved one,
Torn on earth from our embrace?
Shall we listen to their voices,
And behold them face to face? [Chorus]

3 Shall we meet with Christ, our Savior,
When he comes to claim his own?
Shall we hear him bid us welcome,
And sit down upon his throne? [Chorus]
