Lyrics

When my wea­ry feet reach the shin­ing goal,
And the Mas­ter’s voice greets my rap­tured soul;
Where the waves of joy shall around me roll,
O say, will you meet me there?

Refrain

Say, will you meet me there?
Say, will you meet me there?
In the home above, in the land of love,
O say, will you meet me there?

When I sweet­ly rest on that peace­ful shore,
Where the blight of sin shall be felt no more;
When I find the loved ones who’ve gone be­fore,
O say, will you meet me there?

Refrain

When I stand at last with the white-robed throng,
To ad­ore my king, and His praise pro­long;
When my voice shall join in the glad, new song,
O say, will you meet me there?
