1 When the mists have rolled in splendor
From the beauty of the hills,
And the sunlight falls in gladness
On the river and the rills:
We recall our Father's promise
In the rainbow of the spray:
We shall know each other better
When the mists have rolled away.

Chorus:
We shall know as we are known,
Never more to walk alone,
In the dawning of the morning
Of that bright and happy day:
We shall know each other better
When the mists have rolled away.

2 Oft we tread the path before us
With a weary, burden'd heart;
Oft we toil amid the shadows,
And our fields are far apart;
But the Saviour's "Come, ye blessed,"
All our labor will repay,
When we gather in the morning
Where the mists have rolled away. [Chorus]

3 We shall come with joy and gladness,
We shall gather 'round the throne;
Face to face with those that love us,
We shall know as we are known:
And the song of our redemption
Shall resound thro' endless day,
When the shadows have departed
And the mists have rolled away. [Chorus]
