1 Will you meet me in the morning,
On that bright and golden shore?
Will your lamp be trimmed and burning
When He comes to take you o’er?

Chorus:
Yes, I’ll meet you in the morning,
When I hear the Saviour’s call,
“Come, ye blessed of my Father,
To a home prepared for all.

2 Oh, to meet on that bright morning,
When the clouds have passed away!
Oh, to walk and talk with Jesus,
There to dwell with him for aye! [Chorus]

3 When we meet our loving Saviour,
What a happy hour ‘twill be,
When we’re gathered with our loved ones,
And their happy faces see. [Chorus]

4 Oh, this thought should make us happy,
And we all should love him more,
For he’ll come, and will not tarry,
Come to bear us safely o’er. [Chorus]
