Lyrics

My bro­ther, awake, and sing the sweet sto­ry,
Soon the day of re­un­ion will come;
Then oh, what a won­der­ful sing­ing in glo­ry,
When all re­deemed sing­ers get home.

Refrain

Then, oh, what a won­der­ful, won­der­ful sing­ing,
When all re­deemed sing­ers get home;
Reunion, re­un­ion, thro’ ages still ring­ing,
When all re­deemed sing­ers get home.

No mor­tal hath e’er con­ceived of its beau­ty,
That awaits the re­deemed ones at home;
Be sure, my dear bro­ther, you live up to du­ty,
For soon our Re­deem­er will come.

Refrain

Keep work­ing and sing, press on­ward, my bro­ther,
Till the Sav­ior shall bid you to come;
How sweet it will be then to meet with each oth­er,
When all re­deemed sing­ers get home.
