Text: | Shall we Meet? |
Author: | H. L. Hastings |
Tune: | [Shall we meet beyond the river] |
Composer: | Elisha S. Rice |
1 Shall we meet beyond the river,
Where the surges cease to roll?
Where in all the bright forever,
Sorrow ne'er shall press the soul?
Chorus:
Shall we meet, shall we meet,
Shall we meet beyond the river?
Shall we meet beyond the river,
Where the surges cease to roll?
2 Shall we meet in that blest harbor,
When our stormy voyage is o'er?
Shall we meet and cast the anchor
By the bright celestial shore? [Chorus]
3 Shall we meet in yonder city,
Where the towers of crystal shine?
Where the walls are all of jasper,
Built by workmanship divine? [Chorus]
4 Where the music of the ransomed
Rolls its harmony around,
And creation swells the chorus
With its sweet melodious sound. [Chorus]
5 Shall we meet there many a loved one,
That was torn from our embrace?
Shall we listen to their voices,
And behold them face to face? [Chorus]
6 Shall we meet with Christ our Saviour,
When he comes to claim his own?
Shall we know his blessed favor,
And sit down upon his throne? [Chorus]
