1 What bright visions come to me
When I think of joys to be,
’Twill be glory when we meet each other there;
Jesus has prepared a home
For us where no harm can come,
’Twill be glory when we meet each other there.

Refrain:
’Twill be glory over yonder,
When we meet each other there;
’Twill be glory over yonder,
In that home so bright and fair.

2 After pilgrim’s paths are trod,
Sharing in the peace of God,
’Twill be glory when we meet each other there;
While the endless ages roll,
Christ’s atoning love extol,
’Twill be glory when we meet each other there. [Refrain]

3 O the bliss that we shall know
With our souls made white as snow,
’Twill be glory when we meet each other there;
We shall praise the holy Lamb,
Chanting loud redemption’s psalm,
’Twill be glory when we meet each other there. [Refrain]
