74. What a Welcome

1 When our voyage of life is ended,
And its many storms are past,
When our barque is safely anchored,
And her sails are furled at last,

Refrain:
What a chorus of rejoicing,
What a welcome there will be,
When we meet beyond the shadows,
And each other’s face we see.

2 Oh, that morning blessed morning,
When we gather on the shore,
Where the sunlight breaks in splendor,
And our cares and tears are o’er, [Refrain]

3 When we meet beyond the shadows,
In our Father’s home above,
And repeat the wondrous story
Of our Savior’s precious blood, [Refrain]

4 Oh, the time is past approaching,
When that rapture will be ours,
When our souls shall dwell forever,
‘Mid the bloom of Eden’s bow’rs. [Refrain]
