The Bright Array ‎#186

186. Shall we Know each other There?

1 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?

Refrain:
Shall we know each other?
Shall we know each other?
Shall we know each other?
Shall we know each other there?

2 When the holy ones shall meet us,
As we reach the heavenly land,
Shall we know the friends who greet us
When before them we shall stand?
Shall we see them as we saw them
When they bore the form of men?
To our bosoms shall we draw them,
And our loved ones find again? [Refrain]

3 Yes, my weary soul rejoices,
And my heavy heart grows light,
For I hear the angel voices
Singing in the heavenly height;
And the bright ones waiting for us
Are the loved of long ago;
We shall join the blessed chorus,
And each other sweetly know. [Refrain]
