How Sweet 'Twill Be

Author: Mrs. V. A. Belden Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: How sweet ’twill be at evening Lyrics: 1 How sweet ’twill be at evening, When all our work is done, To view the rolling splendor Of life’s descending sun. And think that in the morning, Which soon shall greet our eyes, No storm clouds of affliction, Or sorrow e’er shall rise. 2 How sweet ’twill be in Zion, With no more to endure— To know that all our trials But served to make us pure. Just as the gold and silver, Their value to display, Must first go through the furnace, To melt the dross away. 3 How sweet ’twill be in Heaven, Where endless morn appears, To meet our friends and know them— The lost of bygone years. And with them and the angels, Whose songs eternal rise, Sit at the marriage supper— The banquet of the skies. Used With Tune: HOBOKEN Text Sources: Gospel Songs and Hymns No. 1 by George B. Holsinger (Bridgewater, VA: Brethren Publishing House, 1898)
