162. Shall we meet beyond the river?

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

Chorus:
Shall we meet, shall we meet,
Shall we meet beyond the river!
Shall we meet beyond the river,
Where the surges cease to roll?

2 Shall we meet in that blest harbor,
When our stormy voyage is o'er?
Shall we meet and cast the anchor
By the fair celestial shore? [Chorus]

3 Shall we meet in yonder city,
Where the towers of crystal shine?
Where the walls are all of jasper,
Built by workmanship divine? [Chorus]

4 Shall we meet with Christ our Saviour,
When He comes to claim His own?
Shall we know His blessed favor,
And sit down upon His throne? [Chorus]
