1 When our work on earth is done,
And the victory has been won,
Oh, praise the Lord, we’ll live again;
When from sorrow we are free,
Blessèd thought that comforts me,
We’ll live again, we’ll live again.

Refrain:
We’ll live again, we’ll live again,
Where Christ the Lord shall ever reign,
Free from all sorrow, sin and pain,
Oh, praise the Lord, we’ll live again.

2 When all suffering here is past,
And we reach our home at last,
Oh, praise the Lord, we’ll live again;
Christ through His redeeming love
Has prepared that home above,
We’ll live again, we’ll live again. [Refrain]

3 At the golden gates above,
We shall meet the friends we love,
Oh, praise the Lord, we’ll live again;
And with them we’ll ever be
Throughout all eternity,
We’ll live again, we’ll live again. [Refrain]
