Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.7.6.6.8.7 Appears in 34 hymnals First Line: Farewell, dear friends, a long farewell Refrain First Line: We will meet you in the morning Lyrics: 1 Farewell, dear friends, a long farewell, Since we shall meet no more, Till we shall rise with thee to dwell On heaven’s blissful shore. Refrain: We will meet you in the morning, Where the shadows pass away; We will meet, we will meet, We will meet over there; We will meet you in the morning, Where all tears are wiped away. 2 Our friend and sister, lo! is dead, Her cold and lifeless clay Has made in dust its silent bed, And there it must decay. [Refrain] 3 But is she dead? No, no, she lives; Her happy spirit flies To heav’n above and there receives Her long-expected prize. [Refrain] 4 In robes of pure and precious love Her virgin soul is dressed, And all the angel hosts above Rejoice to see her blest. [Refrain] 5 Farewell, dear friends, again farewell; Soon we shall rise to thee, On wings of love with Christ to dwell, Through all eternity.
