Oh, how sweet when we
mingle with kindred
spirits here,
And tell of Jesus and
His love!
When by faith we can
see Him, and feel His
presence near,
And lift our longing
souls above.
Refrain
We
shall meet on the
banks of the river,
Happy, happy there
forevermore!
We shall dwell with
the angels, and join
with choral song,
Our loved ones, loved
ones gone before.
We are pilgrims of
Zion, though trials
we must bear,
Which all are
blessings in
disguise:
Though the cross may
be heavy, the crown
we soon shall wear
In Heav’n, where
pleasure never dies.
Refrain
When we walk
through the valley
and shadow of the
tomb,
Dear Savior, Thou
wilt be our Guide:
And Thy smile like a
sunbeam will light
beyond the gloom,
And keep Thy people
at Thy side.
Refrain
