The Bright Forever

Verse 1

Shall we meet beyond the river, Where the surges cease to roll? Where in all the bright forever, Sorrow ne'er shall press the soul?

Chorus

Shall we meet, shall we meet, Shall we meet beyond the river? Shall we meet beyond the river, Where the surges cease to roll?

Verse 2

Shall we meet in yonder city, Where the towers of crystal shine? Where the walls are all of jasper, Built by workmanship divine.

Verse 3

Where the music of the ransomed Rolls its harmony around, And creation swells the chorus With its sweet melodious sound.

Verse 4

Shall we meet there many a loved one That was torn from our embrace? Shall we listen to their voices, And behold them face to face?

Verse 5

Shall we meet with Christ our Savior, When He comes to claim His own? Shall we know his blessed favor, And sit down upon His throne?
