Lyrics

There’s a beau­ti­ful home
Far up in the sky,
And man­sions pre­pared by
Our Sav­ior on high;
He wants me to live in
That coun­try so fair,
And when I’m in glo­ry,
Shall I meet you up there?

Refrain

Shall I meet you up there?
Shall I meet you up there?
Where loved ones are wait­ing,
Shall I meet you up there?
Shall I meet you up there?
Shall I meet you up there?
Where loved ones are wait­ing,
Shall I meet you up there?

In that beau­ti­ful land
Where no sor­row will come,
We shall sing hal­le­lu­jah
Around the bright throne;
A beau­ti­ful robe and a
Crown we shall wear,
And live there with Je­sus.
Shall I meet you up there?

Refrain

No night shall be there,
It is one end­less day,
No tears will be shed,
God will wipe them away;
No sick­ness and dy­ing,
No pain we shall bear,
No part­ing with loved ones.
Shall I meet you up there?

Refrain

When my work here is done,
Then the an­gels will come
And take me away to
My beau­ti­ful home;
Forever to dwell in
My Fa­ther’s own care,
With an­gels and loved ones.
Shall I meet you up there?

Refrain
