Shall We Know Each Other There?
Shall We Know Each Other There?
WHEN we hear the music ringing
In the bright, celestial dome—
When sweet angel voices singing,
Gladly bid us welcome home,
To the land of ancient story,
Where the ransomed know no care,
In the land of light and glory,
Shall we know each other there? CHORUS: Shall we know each other—
Shall we know each other—
Shall we know each other—
Shall we know each other there? When the holy angels meet us,
As we go to join their band,
Shall we know the friends that greet us
In that glorious, heavenly land?
Shall we see the same eyes shining
On us as in days of yore?
Shall we feel the same arms twining
Fondly round us as before? CHORUS: Shall we know, &c. Yes; my earth-worn soul rejoices,
And my weary heart grows light,
For the thrilling happy voices,
And the joyous faces bright,
That shall welcome us in Heaven,
Are the loved of long ago;
And to us 'tis kindly given
Thus our ransomed friends to know. CHORUS: Shall we know, &c. O, ye weary, sad, and tossed ones,
Droop not, faint not by the way;
Ye shall join the loved and just ones,
In the land of perfect day!
Harp-strings touched by angel fingers,
Murmured in my raptured ear—
Evermore their sweet song lingers—
We shall know each other there. CHORUS: We shall know each other—
We shall know each other—
We shall know each other—
We shall know each other there.
