Parting to Meet Again

Verse 1

We have gathered to hear of the Savior, Of infinite mercy and love; But this meeting will soon, soon be ended, Shall we meet that dear Savior above?

Chorus

Parting to meet again at the Judgment! Parting to meet no more here below; Oh, how sad the tho't to thee, trav’ler to eternity, Parting to meet again at the judgment.

Verse 2

Oh, how swiftly the moments are flying, O, decide, turn to Jesus and live; If you go to the judgment a sinner, What excuse to your Lord can you give?

Chorus

Parting to meet again at the Judgment! Parting to meet no more here below; Oh, how sad the tho't to thee, trav’ler to eternity, Parting to meet again at the judgment.

Verse 3

Pause a moment; consider, ere going; Look about on these faces tonight; You will meet them again at the judgment, Are you ready to meet judgment light?

Chorus

Parting to meet again at the Judgment! Parting to meet no more here below; Oh, how sad the tho't to thee, trav’ler to eternity, Parting to meet again at the judgment.

Verse 4

Once again there’ll be meeting and parting, When we stand at the great judgment throne; Will you join in the greeting eternal? Or shall Jesus forever disown?

Chorus

Parting to meet again at the Judgment! Parting to meet no more here below; Oh, how sad the tho't to thee, trav’ler to eternity, Parting to meet again at the judgment.

Verse 5

O ye saints of the Lord, shout for gladness! For your fears and your sorrows are o’er, You are ready to meet at the judgment, Or to meet here below nevermore.

Chorus 2

Ready to meet again at the judgment! Ready to meet no more here below; Oh, how glad the thought to thee, trav’ler to eternity; Ready to meet again at the judgment.
