68. Shall we sing in heaven for ever

1 Shall we sing in heaven for ever--
Shall we sing? Shall we sing?
Shall we sing in heaven for ever,
In that happy land?

Refrain:
Yes! oh, yes! in that land, that happy land,
They that meet shall sing for ever,
Far beyond the rolling river,
Meet to sing and love for ever,
In that happy land.

2 Shall we know each other, ever,
In that land?
Shall we know each other, ever,
In that happy land?

Refrain:
Yes! oh, yes! in that land, that happy land,
They that meet shall know each other,
Far beyond the rolling river,
Meet to sing and love for ever,
In that happy land.

3 Shall we sing with holy angels
In that land?
Shall we sing with holy angels
In that happy land?

Refrain:
Yes! oh, yes! in that land, that happy land,
Saints and angels sing for ever,
Far beyond the rolling river,
Meet to sing and love for ever,
In that happy land.

4 Shall we rest from care and sorrow,
In that land?
Shall we rest from care and sorrow,
In that happy land?

Refrain:
Yes! oh, yes! in that land, that happy land
They that meet shall rest for ever,
Far beyond the rolling river,
Meet to sing and love for ever,
In that happy land.

5 Shall we meet our dear, lost children
In that land?
Shall we meet our dear, lost children
In that happy land?

Refrain:
Yes! oh, yes! in that land, that happy land
Children meet and sing for ever
Far beyond the rolling river,
Meet to sing and love for ever,
In that happy land.

6 Shall we know our blessed Saviour
In that land?
Shall we know our blessed Saviour
In that happy land?

Refrain:
Yes! oh, yes! in that land, that happy land,
We shall know our blessed Saviour,
Far beyond the rolling river,
Love and serve him there for ever.
In that happy land.
