Stanza 1
Shall we meet beyond the river,
When the surges cease to roll?
Where, in all the bright “for ever,”
Sorrow ne’er shall press the soul?
Refrain:
Shall we meet, shall we meet?
Shall we meet, beyond the river
Shall we meet, beyond the river,
Where the surges cease to roll.
Stanza 2
Shall we meet in that blest harbor;
When our stormy voyage is o’er?
Shall we meet and cast the anchor
By the fair celestial shore?
Stanza 3
Shall we meet in yonder city,
Where the towers of crystal shine?
Where the walls are all of jasper,
Built by workmanship divine? –
Stanza 4
Where the music of the ransomed
Rolls its harmony around,
And creation swells the Refrain
With its sweet melodious sound?
