The Evergreen ‎#76

76. Evergreen Plain

1 Shall we meet beyond the river,
In that clime where angels dwell?
Shall we meet where friendship never,
Saddest tales of sorrow tell?

Chorus 1-3:
Shall we meet, shall we meet,
Shall we meet on the evergreen plain?
Shall we meet to know each other ever,
Shall we never part again?

2 Shall we meet where flow’rs are blooming
Ever fadeless, ever fair,
Where the light of day illuming
Lives of those who enter there? [Chorus]

3 Shall we meet our loved companions,
On that brighter, fairer shore?
When this life’s great work is ended,
Shall we meet to part no more? [Chorus]

4 Yes! we’ll meet beyond the river,
Where our joys shall never die,
We shall meet our lov'd and lost ones,
In that happy by and by.

Chorus 4:
Yes, we'll meet, yes, we'll meet,
Yes, we'll meet on the evergreen plain;
Yes, we'll meet to know each other ever,
Yes, we'll never part again.
