The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal ‎#552

552. Shall We Meet Beyond the River

1 Shall we meet beyond the river,
Where the surges cease to roll?
Where in all the bright forever,
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?

2 Shall we meet beyond the river,
When our stormy voyage is o'er?
Shall we meet and cast the anchor
By the bright celestial shore? [Refrain]

3 Shall we meet in yonder city,
Where the tow'rs of crystal shine?
Where the walls are all of jasper,
Built by workmanship divine. [Refrain]

4 Where the music of the ransomed
Rolls its harmony around,
And creation swells the chorus
With its sweet melodious sound. [Refrain]

5 Shall we meet there many a loved one
That was torn from our embrace?
Shall we listen to their voices,
And behold them face to face? [Refrain]

6 Shall we meet with Christ our Saviour,
When He comes to claim His own?
Shall we know His blessed favor,
And sit down upon His throne? [Refrain]

AMEN.
