32. Meet Me in That Lovely Land

1 Meet me in that lovely land,
Where the happy white-rob'd band,
Round the throne of glory stand,
Ever blest at God's right hand.

Chorus:
Meet in bliss no tongue can tell;
Meet with angel bands to dwell,
Meet in heaven where all is well,
Meet me in that land.

2 Meet me on that peaceful shore,
When earth's toilsome work is o'er,
Where our friends have gone before,
And the ransom'd part no more. [Chorus]

3 Meet me in that world of light,
Where, amid the glories bright,
All who conquer in the fight,
Share the beatific sight. [Chorus]

4 Meet me in that world of cheer,
Where is seen no falling tear,
Where no clouds of night appear,
Where the sky is ever clear. [Chorus]

5 Gentle Spirit, heavenly Dove,
Guide us to that realm above,
Where the saints for ever prove
All the fulness of thy love. [Chorus]
