Sheltered there we shall no more roam, No more roam, no more roam; Sheltered there we shall no more roam, While immortal love we sing. Refrain: We shall meet in the bright tomorrow, God shall wipe every tearful eye; No more sighing, and no more sorrow, All will be glory, by and by. 2 By and by we shall cross the tide, Cross the tide, cross the tide; By and by we shall cross the tide To the haven of the blest. Thro’ his grace we’ll be glorified, Glorified, glorified; Thro’ his grace we’ll be glorified In the peaceful land of rest. [Refrain] 3 Meeting there at the river’s brink, River’s brink, river’s brink; Meeting there at the river’s brink We shall enter joys above. May there be not a missing link, Missing link, missing link; May there be not a missing link In the jeweled chain of love. [Refrain] 4 O the joy when we meet up there, Meet up there, meet up there; O the joy when we meet up there On the happy Golden shore. O the rapture we soon shall share, Soon shall share, soon shall share; O the rapture we soon shall share With the loved ones gone before! [Refrain] Used With Tune: [By and by we'll be gathered home]

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[By and by we'll be gathered home]" in Glorious Praise William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman
