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 spir­it knows no care

In that land of light and glo­ry

Shall we know each oth­er there?

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 the glo­ri­ous spir­it land?

Shall we see the same eyes shin­ing

On us

as in days of yore?

Shall we feel their dear arms twin­ing

Fondly round us

as be­fore?

Yes

my earth-worn soul re­joic­es

And my wea­ry heart grows light

For the thrill­ing an­gel voices

And the an­gel fac­es bright:

That shall wel­come us in Heav­en

Are the loved of long ago

And to them ’tis kind­ly giv­en

Thus their mor­tal friends to know.

Oh! 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!

We shall know each oth­er

We shall know each oth­er

We shall know each oth­er

We shall know each oth­er there.
