Hymnal: The Little Sower for Sabbath Schools #107 (1870) First Line: Shall we meet beyond the river Lyrics: 1 Shall we meet beyond the river,
Where the surges cease to roll?
Where in all the bright forever,
Sorrow ne'er shall press the soul?
Chorus:
Shall we meet, shall we meet,
Shall we meet beyond the river?
Shall we meet beyond the river,
Where the surges cease to roll?
2 Shall we meet in that blest harbor,
When our stormy voyage is o'er?
Shall we meet and cast the anchor,
By the fair celestial shore? [Chorus]
3 Shall we meet in yonder city,
Where the towers of crystal shine?
Where the walls are all of jasper,
Built by workmanship divine? [Chorus]
4 Where the music of the ransomed,
Rolls its harmony around,
And creation swells the chorus,
With its sweet melodious sound? [Chorus]
5 Shall we meet with many a loved one,
That was torn from our embrace?
Shall we listen to their voices,
And behold them face to face? [Chorus]
6 Shall we meet with Christ our Saviour,
When he comes to claim his own?
Shall we know his blessed favor,
And sit down upon his throne? [Chorus]
Tune Title: [Shall we meet beyond the river]
Shall we meet beyond the river?
