1 We shall have the flow’rs again
In the shining after rain,
Past the sorrow and the pain,
In the morning,
We shall greet our friends once more!
All the dear once gone before,
They will meet us on the shore,
In the morning!

Refrain:
In the morning!
In the morning!
We shall meet upon the shore,
In the morning!
In the morning!
In the morning!
We shall meet upon the golden shore.

2 We shall know as we are known,
In the sunlight of the throne,
And all heav’n will be our won,
In the morning,
We shall leave the sin and wrong,
We shall join the white rob’d throng,
We will sing the triumph song,
In the morning! [Refrain]

3 Face to face, we shall behold
Him whose love can ne’er be told;
We shall walk the streets of gold,
In the morning,
So we watch and wait and pray,
Till the shadows flee away,
Till we see the break of day,
In the morning! [Refrain]
