Brings us to our distant home so fair, Chorus: We shall meet in heaven once more, We shall meet in heaven once more, And we'll join in the songs of that happy land, On that bright, that sinless shore, With the loved who went before, We shall meet once more in heaven a joyous band. 2 Children waiting his command, Trusting in his gracious hand, Yielding to his just demand, His is tender love. Sweet the lessons we have heard, From his ever daring word. We will trust him till we meet above. [Chorus] 3 Soldiers ready for the fray, Foes around in ambush lay. We must ever watch and pray, We must bravely fight, And when all the conflict's passed, We shall meet our Lord at last. Meet him in that land which knows no night. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [We are waiting, watching here]
