Shall we meet again up yonder,
In that bright, celestial light?
Where no earthly pains encumber,
Where eternal joys delight?
Shall we meet? Shall we meet? Shall we meet?
Shall we meet again up yonder,
In eternal, true delight?
Yes, indeed, we'll meet up yonder
In that glorious land of light,
And we'll sing the songs of vict'ry
If found faithful in the fight.
Yes, indeed! yes, indeed! yes, indeed!
Yes, indeed, we'll meet up yonder
If found faithful in the fight!

Shall we then behold the city
Built of crystal and of gold?
Shall we be allowed to enter
And the face of God behold?
Shall we then, shall we then, shall we then,
Shall we then behold the city
Built of crystal and of gold?
Yea, we'll tread the streets of heaven,
Sing with joy the glad refrain,
Where the Blest will find in glory
What no eye has ever seen
Yes we'll tread, yes we'll tread, yes we'll tread,
Yes we'll tread the streets of glory,
Sing with joy the glad refrain!

Shall we hear the swelling chorus
Of the saints in sweet accord,
As they offer praise and honor
Unto God and Christ the Lord?
Shall we hear, shall we hear, shall we hear,
Shall we hear the swelling chorus
Of the saints in sweet accord?
Even more, who shall express it?
We shall see the Son of God
Crowns of life with Him we'll carry
Who for us redemption brought,
Even more, even more, even more,
Even more who shall express it?
We shall see the Son of God?

Oft we ask with apprehension,
Shall we meet our loved ones there?
Have they found that peaceful haven,
Free from every grief and care?
Oft we ask, oft we ask, oft we ask,
Oft we ask with apprehension.
Shall we meet our loved ones there?
Yea, we'll meet our friends and brethren
Who in faith have gone before,
Eagerly for us are watching,
Waiting on the other shore
Yes we'll meet, yes we'll meet, yes we'll meet,
Yes we'll meet our friends and brethren
Who in faith have gone before!

And we'll see as God's own children
Who were faithful to the end,
Gathered 'round the throne of glory
All the ransomed conq'ring band!
And we'll see, and we'll see, and we'll see,
And we'll see as God's own children
All that ransomed, conq'ring band!
Therefore come, and let us hasten
Zion's gates to enter in
Let us here no longer tarry,
Striving bravely brings us gain
Therefore come, therefore come, therefore come,
Therefore come and let us hasten
Zion's gates to enter in!
