Text:Will You Meet Me Over Yonder?
Author:E. A. H.
Tune:[I journey to the better land]
Composer:Rev. E. A. Hoffman

19. Will You Meet Me Over Yonder?

1 I journey to the better land,
The New Jerusalem,
To welcome from my Savior’s hand,
A royal diadem.

Refrain:
Will you meet me over yonder in the New Jerusalem,
Where the faithful will be robed in spotless white,
And wear with Christ’s redeemed ones the royal diadem
Over yonder in the palaces of light?

2 Oh, meet me on that farther shore,
Amid the saved and blest,
There sin and sorrow come no more,
And all have perfect rest! [Refrain]

3 Direct your feet t’ward heaven’s gate,
Nor leave the narrow way,
Till safe with those who for thee wait
In yonder realms of day. [Refrain]
