Representative Text

1 In the morn of morns when we all meet there,
In the home far above the sky,
We’ll recall the scenes we have left behind,
But we never will say “good-by.”

Refrain:
In the dawning of the morning,
In that home far above the sky;
Happy meeting, happy greeting,
When we never will say “good-by.”

2 Never sadness there, neither grief nor tear,
In that beautiful home on high!
But they swell the song, happy ransom’d throng,
And they never will say “good-by.” [Refrain]

3 With our kindred dear, in that home of love,
While the ages eternal fly,
We will meet, and sing at the Saviour’s feet,
But we never will say “good-by.” [Refrain]
