When shall we meet again?

Appears in 346 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When shall we meet again?-- Meet ne'er to sever? When will peace wreathe her chain Round us forever? Our hearts will ne'er repose Safe from each blast that blows, In this dark vale of woes— Never--no, never! 2 When shall love freely flow, Pure as life's river? When shall sweet friendship glow Changeless forever? Where joys celestial thrill, Where bliss each heart shall fill, And fears of parting chill, Never--no, never! 3 Up to that world of light, Take us, dear Saviour; May we all there unite, Happy forever: Where kindred spirits dwell, There may our music swell, And time our joys dispel, Never--no, never! 4 Soon shall we meet again-- Meet ne'er to sever; Soon will peace wreathe her chain Round us forever; Our hearts will then repose Secure from worldly woes; Our songs of praise shall close Never--no, never!

Day of judgment--day of wonders

When Thou, my righteous Judge, shalt come

Appears in 439 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When Thou, my righteous Judge, shalt come To call Thy ransom'd people home, Shall I among them stand?
