Shall We Meet Beyond the River?

1Shall we meet beyond the river,
Where the surges cease to roll?
Where, in all the bright forever,
Sorrow ne'er shall press the soul?

RefrainShall we meet, shall we meet,
Shall we meet beyond the river?
Shall we meet beyond the river,
Where the surges cease to roll?

2Shall 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?

3Shall we meet in yonder city,
Where the towers of crystal shine?
Where the walls are all of jasper,
Built by workmanship divine?

4Shall 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?
