1. When shall we meet thee, dear Savior above? When shall we behold thy face? When shall we greet thee with tokens of love, In that happy holy place? When we have finished our mission below, When on earth we no more roam, Wilt thou approve of our work when we go to our glorious future home?
When shall we meet thee, dear Savior above? When shall we behold thy face? When shall we meet thee with tokens of love, In that happy, holy place?
2. When shall we meet thee, our Savior and Lord? When shall we thy glory see? When shall we go to obtain our reward, And in heav’n be crowned with thee? When thou wilt come in thy glory and might, Over all the earth to reign, May we be holy and pure in thy sight, And thy approbation gain.
When shall we meet thee, dear Savior above? When shall we behold thy face? When shall we meet thee with tokens of love, In that happy, holy place?
3. When shall we meet thee, Redeemer and Friend? When shall we in heav’n abide? When shall the just to thy mansions ascend, Where our God and thee reside? When all our labors on earth are complete, When our mortal life is o’er, When we have gone where our record we’ll meet, On that bright eternal shore.
Then we shall meet thee, dear Savior above, Then will we behold thy face, Then we shall greet thee with tokens of love; In that happy, holy place.
