96. Don’t You Think We’ll Be Happy?

1 When we all reach our home in that beautiful land
Which our Saviour has gone to prepare,
When again with our loved ones of earth we shall stand
Don’t you think we’ll be happy up there?

Refrain:
Don’t you think we’ll be happy up there when we stand
With our friends that we love at our Saviour’s right hand,
When at last we shall meet in that beautiful land
Don’t you think we’ll be happy up there?

2 What though over the pathway our tired feet have pressed
Are deep footprints of sorrow and care;
When we enter those Portals forever to rest
Don’t you think we’ll be happy up there? [Refrain]

3 Neither darkness, nor dying, nor sorrow nor sighs
Will again fill our hearts with despair;
But where God will in love wipe all tears from our eyes
Don’t you think we’ll be happy up there? [Refrain]

4 Soon the Saviour will send for His children to come
And reside in that City so fair;
Then when we shall all meet in that beautiful home
Don’t you think we’ll be happy up there? [Refrain]
