347. Shall we Meet Beyond the River?

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?

Chorus:
Shall we meet, shall we meet,
Shall we meet beyond the river!
Shall we meet beyond the river,
Where the surges cease to roll?

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? [Chorus]

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

4 Shall we meet with Christ our Saviour,
When He comes to claim His own?
Shall we know His blesséd favor,
And sit down upon His throne? [Chorus]

Amen.
