Crowning Glory No. 2 ‎#152

152. We Shall Know

1 When the mists have rolled in splendor
From the beauty of the hills,
And the sunshine falls in gladness,
On the rivers and the rills,
We may read love’s shining letter
In the rainbow of the spray,
We shall know each other better
When the mists have cleared away.

Chorus:
We shall know as we are known,
Never more to walk alone,
In the dawning of the morning,
When the mists have cleared away;
In the dawning of the morning,
When the mists have cleared away.

2 If we err, in human blindness,
And forget that we are dust;
If we miss the law of kindness
When we struggle to be just,
Snowy wings of peace shall cover
All the plain that hides away,
When the weary watch is over,
And the mists have cleared away. [Chorus]

3 We shall come with songs of gladness,
We shall gather 'round His throne;
Face to face with those that love us,
We shall know as we are known;
And the song of our redemption
Shall resound thro' endless day,
Praising Him whose love has kept us
Till the mists have cleared away. [Chorus]
