259   SHALL WE MEET




[V1]


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

[C]
Shall we meet, shall we meet,
Shall we meet beyond the river?
Shall we meet beyond the river,
Where the surges cease to roll.

[V2]
Shall we meet in that blest harbor,
When our stormy voyage is o’er?
Shall we meet and cast the anchor,
By the far, celestial shore?

[C]
Shall we meet, shall we meet,
Shall we meet beyond the river?
Shall we meet beyond the river,
Where the surges cease to roll.

[V3]
Shall we meet in yonder city,
Where the tow’rs of crystal shine?
Where the walls are all of jasper,
Built for us by hands divine?

[C]
Shall we meet, shall we meet,
Shall we meet beyond the river?
Shall we meet beyond the river,
Where the surges cease to roll.

[V4]
Shall we meet with Christ, our Saviuor,
When he comes to claim his own?
Shall we know his blessed favor,
And sit down upon his throne?

[C]
Shall we meet, shall we meet,
Shall we meet beyond the river?
Shall we meet beyond the river,
Where the surges cease to roll.
