Shall We Be Parted There?

1 To the bar of God on high
We’re go­ing by and by,
Where sad part­ings we shall see,
And oh! shall we be part­ed there?
With the mill­ions we shall stand
Arraigned at ei­ther hand,
And shall hear the words of life,
Or of death and dark des­pair.

Refrain:
Shall we be part­ed there?
Shall we be part­ed there,
When with the world in judg­ment we shall be?
Will our Re­deem­er say, "Enter My rest for aye,"
Or "you are doomed with the lost ones
To spend eter­ni­ty"?

2 We a strict ac­count must give
For ev­ery day we live,
Are we tru­ly serv­ing Christ,
And oh! shall we be part­ed there?
Some with joy to Heav’n will go,
Some to the world be­low;
Let us by the help of God
For that won­drous day pre­pare. [Refrain]

3 Hope of meet­ing cheers the heart
When here true friends must part,
But ’twill be for ev­er­more,
If in ang­uish we’re part­ed there;
Father, grant us strength and grace
That when we end life’s race,
We may all as heirs with Christ
Enter Heav’n Thy joys to share. [Refrain]
