Hymnal: Light and Life #22 (1881) First Line: Why lament the Christian dying? Refrain First Line: We'll meet again, by and by! Lyrics: 1 Why lament the Christian dying?
Why indulge in tears or gloom?
Calmly on the Lord relying
He can greet the opening tomb.
Refrain:
We'll meet again, by and by!
We'll meet again, by and by;
In the realms of endless glory
We shall meet, yes, by and by.
2 Scenes seraphic, high and glorious,
Now forbid his longer stay;
See him rise, o'er death victorious!
Angels beckon him away. [Refrain]
3 Hark! the golden harps are ringing!
Sounds unearthly fill his ear;
Millions now in heaven singing,
Greet his joyful entrance there. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Why lament the Christian dying?]
Gone to heaven
