Oh, Won't You Meet Me There?
Author: Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr. Appears in 9 hymnals First Line: This life will soon be ended Refrain First Line: Oh, won’t you meet me there Lyrics: 1 This life will soon be ended,
A few more doubts and fears,
Then we will be forever
Beyond this vale of tears;
My Saviour has gone over,
A mansion to prepare,
So when we cross the river,
Oh, won’t you meet me there?
Refrain:
Oh, won’t you meet me there?
Oh, won’t you meet me there?
In that eternal City
Where all is bright and fair?
I’m going home to glory,
A crown of life to wear,
There’s room enough in heaven,
Oh, won’t you meet me there?
2 There all the walls are jasper,
There all the streets are gold,
But of that city’s beauty
The half has not been told;
For you and me, my brother,
Christ once the cross did bear,
That we might see its glory,
Oh, won’t you meet me there? [Refrain]
3 Dear sinner, start for glory,
Where all is fair and bright,
Just bow before the Saviour,
He’ll save your soul to-night;
He’ll write your name in heaven,
In answer to your pray’r,
There friends for you are waiting,
Oh, won’t you meet me there? [Refrain] Used With Tune: [This life will soon be ended]

Johnson Oatman, Jr.
1856 - 1922 Person Name: Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr. Author of "Oh, Won't You Meet Me There" in Give Thanks and Sing Johnson Oatman, Jr., son of Johnson and Rachel Ann Oatman, was born near Medford, N. J., April 21, 1856. His father was an excellent singer, and it always delighted the son to sit by his side and hear him sing the songs of the church.
Outside of the usual time spent in the public schools, Mr. Oatman received his education at Herbert's Academy, Princetown, N. J., and the New Jersey Collegiate Institute, Bordentown, N. J. At the age of nineteen he joined the M.E. Church, and a few years later he was granted a license to preach the Gospel, and still later he was regularly ordained by Bishop Merrill. However, Mr. Oatman only serves as a local preacher.
For many years he was engaged with his father in the mercantile business at Lumberton, N. J., under the firm name of Johnson Oatman & Son. Since the death of his father, he has for the past fifteen years been in the life insurance business, having charge of the business of one of the great companies in Mt. Holly, N. J., where he resides.
He has written over three thousand hymns, and no gospel song book is considered as being complete unless it contains some of his hymns.
In 1878 he married Wilhelmina Reid, of Lumberton, N.J. and had three children, Rachel, Miriam, and Percy.
