I
SOON WE'LL COME TO THE END OF LIFE'S JOURNEY
AND PERHAPS WE'LL NEVER MEET ANY MORE.
TILL WE GATHER IN HEAVEN'S BRIGHT CITY.
FAR AWAY ON THAT BEAUTIFUL SHORE.
II
OH SO OFTEN WE'RE PARTED WITH SORROW,
BENEDICTIONS OFTEN QUICKEN OUR PAIN,
BUT WE NEVER SHALL SORROW IN HEAVEN.
GOD BE WITH YOU TILL WE MEET AGAIN.
III
OH THEY SAY WE SHALL MEET BY THE RIVER,
WHERE NO STORM CLOUDS EVER DARKEN THE SKY,
AND THEY SAY WE'LL BE HAPPY IN HEAVEN,
IN THE WONDERFUL SWEET BY AND BY
CHORUS
NEVER MEET THIS SIDE OF HEAVEN
IF WE NEVER MEET AGAIN THIS SIDE OF HEAVEN
STRUGGLE THRU THIS WORLD AND IT'S STRIFE,
AS WE STRUGGLE THRU THIS WORLD AND IT'S STRIFE.
MEETING PLACE SOMEWHERE IN HEAVEN
THERE'S ANOTHER MEETING PLACE SOMEWHERE IN HEAVEN
BY THE SHINING RIVER OF LIFE, ROSES BLOOM
BY THE SIDE OF THE RIVER OF LIFE, WHERE THE CHARMING ROSES BLOOM
EVER AND EVER,SEP-A-RA-TIONS
FOREVER, AND WHERE SEP-A-RA-TIONS COME NO MORE,
COME NEVER MORE NEVER MEET
IF WE NEVER MEET AGAIN THIS SIDE OF
THIS SIDE OF HEAVEN MEET YOU IN THAT BEAUTIFUL SHORE.
HEAVEN I WILL MEET YOU ON THAT BEAUTIFUL SHORE.
