We shall be there, we shall be there;
Bright jewels we’ll shine in that heavenly home,
We shall be there, we shall be there.

We shall be there in that morning,
We shall be there in that morning;
When all the dear children are gathering home,
We shall be there in that morning.

We shall be there, we shall be there;
For this the dear Savior did suffer and die,
We shall be there, we shall be there. [Refrain]

So happy with Jesus in beauty sublime,
We shall be there, we shall be there.
