When shall we meet again?

Appears in 346 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When shall we meet again?-- Meet ne'er to sever? When will peace wreathe her chain Round us forever? Our hearts will ne'er repose Safe from each blast that blows, In this dark vale of woes— Never--no, never! 2 When shall love freely flow, Pure as life's river? When shall sweet friendship glow Changeless forever? Where joys celestial thrill, Where bliss each heart shall fill, And fears of parting chill, Never--no, never! 3 Up to that world of light, Take us, dear Saviour; May we all there unite, Happy forever: Where kindred spirits dwell, There may our music swell, And time our joys dispel, Never--no, never! 4 Soon shall we meet again-- Meet ne'er to sever; Soon will peace wreathe her chain Round us forever; Our hearts will then repose Secure from worldly woes; Our songs of praise shall close Never--no, never!

And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut its glories in, when God, the mighty Maker, died for his own creature's sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face while his dear cross appears; dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt mine eyes to tears. 5 But drops of tears can ne'er repay the debt of love I owe. Here, Lord, I give myself away; 'tis all that I can do.
