Shall We Meet Beyond the River?
Verse 1
Shall we meet beyond the river,
Where the surges cease to roll?
Where, in all the bright forever,
Sorrow ne'er shall press the soul?
Where the surges cease to roll?
Where, in all the bright forever,
Sorrow ne'er shall press the soul?
Refrain
Shall we meet, shall we meet,
Shall we meet beyond the river?
Shall we meet beyond the river,
Where the surges cease to roll?
Shall we meet beyond the river?
Shall we meet beyond the river,
Where the surges cease to roll?
Verse 2
Shall we meet in that blest harbor,
When our stormy voyage is o'er?
Shall we meet and cast the anchor
By the fair, celestial shore?
When our stormy voyage is o'er?
Shall we meet and cast the anchor
By the fair, celestial shore?
Verse 3
Shall we meet in yonder city,
Where the towers of crystal shine?
Where the walls are all of jasper,
Built by workmanship divine?
Where the towers of crystal shine?
Where the walls are all of jasper,
Built by workmanship divine?
Verse 4
Shall we meet with Christ, our Saviour,
When He comes to claim His own?
Shall we know His blessed favor,
And sit down upon His throne?
When He comes to claim His own?
Shall we know His blessed favor,
And sit down upon His throne?
A gospel hymn anticipating reunion with loved ones beyond the river in the hereafter.
