Fair as the Morning. Hymns and Tunes for Praise in the Sunday-School ‎#54

54. We Shall Know as We are Known

1 When we hear the music ringing
In the bright celestial dome,
When sweet angel voices singing,
Gladly bid us welcome home
To the land of ancient story,
Where the dwellers knows no care—
In that land of light and glory,
Shall we know each other there?

Refrain:
We shall know as we are known,
Nevermore to walk alone,
In the dawning of the morning,
In the land of perfect day;
We shall know each other better,
When the mists have rolled away.

2 When the holy angels meet us,
As we go to join their band,
Shall we know the friends that greet us
In the glorious happy land?
Shall we see the same eyes shining
On us as in days of yore?
Shall we feel the same arms twining
Fondly round us, as before? [Refrain]

3 Yes, my earth-worn soul rejoices,
And my weary heart grows light;
For the sweet immortal voices,
And th’angelic faces bright,
That shall sing with us the story
Of redemption ‘round the throne,
Are with us the heirs of glory,
And we’ll know as we are known. [Refrain]
