Author: Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr. Hymnal: Songs of Love and Praise No. 4 #52 (1897) First Line: This life will soon be ended Refrain First Line: Oh, won’t you meet me there Lyrics: 1 This life will soon be ended,
A few more doubts and fears,
Then we will be forever
Beyond this vale of tears;
My Saviour has gone over,
A mansion to prepare,
So when we cross the river,
Oh, won’t you meet me there?
Refrain:
Oh, won’t you meet me there?
Oh, won’t you meet me there?
In that eternal City
Where all is bright and fair?
I’m going home to glory,
A crown of life to wear,
There’s room enough in heaven,
Oh, won’t you meet me there?
2 There all the walls are jasper,
There all the streets are gold,
But of that city’s beauty
The half has not been told;
For you and me, my brother,
Christ once the cross did bear,
That we might see its glory,
Oh, won’t you meet me there? [Refrain]
3 Dear sinner, start for glory,
Where all is fair and bright,
Just bow before the Saviour,
He’ll save your soul to-night;
He’ll write your name in heaven,
In answer to your pray’r,
There friends for you are waiting,
Oh, won’t you meet me there? [Refrain] Tune Title: [This life will soon be ended]
Oh, Won't You Meet Me There?
