96. Do They Know?

1 In the land where the bright ones are gathered,
In the far away home where they dwell,
Do they know our sad hearts are breaking—
Do they know that we love them so well?

Refrain:
Do they know, Do they know,
Do they know that we love them so well?
In the land where the bright ones are gathered,
Do they know that we love them so well?

2 Where they gave on the splendors of Eden,
On the glories no mortal can tell;
Do they think of the eyes that are weeping,
Do they know that we love them so well? [Refrain]

3 Do they stoop from the bright realms of glory,
Where the anthems triumphantly swell;
Do they long for a blessed reunion;
Do they know that we love them so well?

4 Yes, they know, for our spirits are blending,
In the mansion of peace, where they dwell;
And they watch and they wait for our coming,
For they know that we love them so well? [Refrain]
