1 Our kindred dear to heav'n have gone,
We'll meet our friends in glory;
They landed safe--we'll follow on,
To meet our friends in glory.
Chorus:
We're marching to glory!
We're marching to glory!
We'll marching to glory!
To meet our friends in glory!
We're on our way to paradise,
To meet our friends in glory!
2 Like us they had their cares and fears,
We'll meet our friends in glory!
Like us they shed affliction's tears,
We'll meet our friends in glory! [Chorus]
3 They had to fight their passage through,
We'll meet our friends in glory!
But conquer'd, as we soon shall do,
And meet our friends in glory! [Chorus]
4 Now they are shining bright and fair,
We'll meet our friends in glory!
Victorious palms with joy they bear,
We'll meet our friends in glory! [Chorus]
5 Safe housed in their eternal home,
We'll meet our friends in glory!
They wait till we with songs shall come,
We'll meet our friends in glory! [Chorus]
6 How happy they, from sorrow free,
We'll meet our friends in glory!
And such our happiness shall be,
We'll meet our friends in glory! [Chorus]
7 How bright the crowns their temples bear,
We'll meet our friends in glory!
Like crowns for us are waiting there,
We'll meet our friends in glory! [Chorus]
8 What robes they wear before the throne,
We'll meet our friends in glory!
Such glorious robes shall be our own,
We'll meet our friends in glory! [Chorus]
9 What harps of gold they all employ,
We'll meet our friends in glory!
Such harps our hands shall strike with joy,
We'll meet our friends in glory! [Chorus]
10 What notes divine are on their tongues,
We'll meet our friends in glory!
And raise with them our rapturous songs,
We'll meet our friends in glory! [Chorus]
11 How green the fields o'er which they rove,
We'll meet our friends in glory!
And range with them those fields above,
We'll meet our friends in glory! [Chorus]
12 The hills and vales and groves are fair,
We'll meet our friends in glory!
And live with them for ever there,
We'll meet our friends in glory! [Chorus]
13 And oh! there dwells our one great Friend,
We'll meet that Friend in glory!
And with him endless ages spend,
We'll meet that Friend in glory! [Chorus]
14 Before us he ascended there,
We'll meet that Friend in glory!
Our heavenly mansion to prepare,
We'll meet that Friend in glory! [Chorus]
15 And now in one united band,
We'll meet our friends in glory!
We're marching forward heart and hand,
We'll meet our friends in glory! [Chorus]
16 Though rough the way 'twill soon be past,
We'll meet our friends in glory!
And share their blissful home at last,
We'll meet our friends in glory! [Chorus]
