Lyrics

What bright vi­sions come to me
When I think of joys to be,
’Twill be glo­ry when we meet each oth­er there;
Jesus has pre­pared a home
For us where no harm can come,
’Twill be glo­ry when we meet each oth­er there.

Refrain

’Twill be glo­ry ov­er yon­der,
When we meet each oth­er there;
’Twill be glo­ry ov­er yon­der,
In that home so bright and fair.

After pil­grim’s paths are trod,
Sharing in the peace of God,
’Twill be glo­ry when we meet each oth­er there;
While the end­less ages roll,
Christ’s aton­ing love ex­tol,
’Twill be glo­ry when we meet each oth­er there.

Refrain

O the bliss that we shall know
With our souls made white as snow,
’Twill be glo­ry when we meet each oth­er there;
We shall praise the ho­ly Lamb,
Chanting loud re­demp­tion’s psalm,
’Twill be glo­ry when we meet each oth­er there.
