1 Shall we meet again, dear mother,
On that bright, eternal shore,
Where we’ll part again, no never,
But be safe for evermore?

Refrain:
Yes, I’ll meet you there, dear mother,
On that happy, golden shore;
O the joy of that glad meeting,
Where sad partings come no more.

2 Shall we meet again, dear mother,
Free from sorrow, free from care;
There to sing glad songs forever,
In those mansions bright and fair? [Refrain]

3 Yes, we’ll meet again, dear mother,
When earth’s trials all are past;
When my barque shall reach the haven,
And is anchored safe at last. [Refrain]

4 O the joy of that glad meeting,
Reunited in that home;
On the resurrection morning,
Whence our Lord for us shall come. [Refrain]
