1 When the everlasting morning on this weary earth shall dawn,
And we hear the trumpet sounding loud and clear;
When the angels from the battlements of heaven shout for joy;
We will greet the friends we loved and cherished here.
Refrain:
For they never die up yonder,
There with joy they stand arrayed;
No, they never die up yonder,
Jesus all the debt has paid.
2 By the angel bands attended, up along the starry way
They have journey’d where the surges swell no more;
They have left their earthly temple for a house not made with hands;
They are living on the peaceful Eden shore. [Refrain]
3 We shall know them by the lovelight that still lingers in their eyes,
Tho’ their faces bright with heaven’s glory shine;
Those who vanished from earth’s portals and were lost a little while
In the summerland of Paradise divine. [Refrain]
Lizzie De Armond was a prolific writer of children's hymns, recitations and exercises. When she was twelve years old her first poem was published in the Germantown, Pa. Telegraph, however, it was not until she was a widow with eight children to support that she started writing in earnest. She wrote articles, librettos, nature stories and other works, as well as hymns.
