The New Wonderful Songs for Work and Worship ‎#191

191. Shall We Meet?

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 fair, celestial shore? [Chorus]

3 Shall we meet in yonder city,
Where the tow'rs of crystal shine?
Where the walls are all of jasper,
Built by workmanship divine. [Chorus]

4 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]
