1. Shall we meet beyond the riverWhere the surges cease to roll,Where in all the bright forever,Sorrow ne’er shall press the soul?
We shall meet, we shall meet,We shall meet beyond the river;We shall meet beyond the riverWhere the surges cease to roll.
2. Shall we meet in that blest harborWhen our stormy voyage is o’er?Shall we meet and cast the anchorBy the fair, celestial shore?
We shall meet, we shall meet,We shall meet beyond the river;We shall meet beyond the riverWhere the surges cease to roll.
3. Shall we meet in yonder cityWhere the tow’rs of crystal shine,Where the walls are all of jasper,Built by workmanship divine?
We shall meet, we shall meet,We shall meet beyond the river;We shall meet beyond the riverWhere the surges cease to roll.
4. Shall we meet with Christ our SaviorWhen he comes to claim his own?Shall we know his blessed favorAnd sit down upon his throne?
We shall meet, we shall meet,We shall meet beyond the river;We shall meet beyond the riverWhere the surges cease to roll.
