We Shall Meet and Rest
The Meeting Place
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6449 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: Where the faded flower shall freshen Refrain First Line: Brother, we shall meet and rest Lyrics: 1 Where the faded flower shall freshen—
Freshen never more to fade;
Where the shaded sky shall brighten—
Brighten never more to shade:
Where the sun blaze never scorches;
Where the star beams cease to chill;
Where no tempest stirs the echoes
Of the wood, or wave, or hill;
Where the morn shall wake in gladness,
And the noon the joy prolong,
Where the daylight dies in fragrance,
’Mid the burst of holy song:
Refrain:
Brother, we shall meet and rest
’Mid the holy and the blest!
2 Where no shadow shall bewilder,
When life’s vain parade is o’er,
Where the sleep of sin is broken,
And the dreamer dreams no more:
Where the bond is never severed;
Parting, claspings, sob and moan,
Midnight waking, twilight weeping,
Heavy noontide—all are done:
Where the child has found its mother,
Where the mother finds the child,
Where dear families are gathered,
That were scattered on the wild: [Refrain]
3 Where the hidden wound is healèd,
Where the blighted life re-blooms,
Where the smitten heart the freshness
Of its buoyant youth resumes:
Where the love that here we lavish
On the withering leaves of time
Shall have fadeless flowers to fix on
In an ever spring-bright clime:
Where we find the joy of loving,
As we never loved before—
Loving on, unchilled, unhindered,
Loving once and evermore: [Refrain]
4 Where a blasted world shall brighten
Underneath a bluer sphere,
And a softer, gentler sunshine
Shed its healing splendor here:
Where earth’s barren vales shall blossom,
Putting on their robe of green,
And a purer, fairer Eden
Be where only wastes have been:
Where a king in kingly glory,
Such as earth has never known,
Shall assume the righteous scepter,
Claim and wear the holy crown: [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Where the faded flower shall freshen]
