When our earthly life Is ended
And our earthly mission done
We shall go across the river
At the setting of the sun:
And in God’s t-elesllal mansion
Clothed In garments strangely fair
We shall mpet those gone before us—
We aball know each other there
Y-s we’ll meet them In the city
That Is Just across tile strand
And our hearts will leap with rapturp
When we take thenuby the handr
Oh Imw sweet will be the meeting
Earthly words can ne’er declare— ’
We shall know tlie bliss of heaven
When we meet each other there
Do not tell us that our loved ones
Lose tlielr earthly mem’rles quite
When they sing among tlie angels
In the heavenly mansions bright
Oh I know that we shall know them
Tli much the angels’ robes they
wear: ' -
When they hid ns welcome over
We shall know or loved ones there
