We Shall Meet Beyond the River

We shall meet beyond the river, By and by, by and by; And the darkness shall be o'er, By and by, by and by; With the toilsome journey done, And the glorious battle won, We shall shine forth as the sun, By and by, by and by;

We shall strike the harps of glory, By and by, by and by; We shall sing redemption's story, By and by, by and by; And the strains, for evermore, Shall resound in sweetness o'er Yonder everlasting shore By and by, by and by;

We shall see and be like Jesus, By and by, by and by; Who a crown of life will give us, By and by, by and by; And the angels who fulfil All the mandates of His will Shall attend and love us still, By and by, by and by;

There our tears shall all cease flowing, By and by, by and by; And with sweetest rapture knowing, By and by, by and by; And all the blest ones, who have gone, To the land of life and song, We with shouting shall rejoin, By and by, by and by;
