Lyrics

In the morn of morns when we all meet there,
In the home fair above the sky,
We’ll re­call the scenes we have left be­hind,
But we ne­ver will say good­bye.

Refrain

In the dawn­ing of the morn­ing,
In that home far above the sky;
Happy meet­ing, hap­py greet­ing,
When we ne­ver say good­bye.

Never sad­ness there, nei­ther grief nor tear,
In that beau­ti­ful home on high!
But they swell the song, hap­py ran­somed throng,
And they ne­ver will say good­bye.

Refrain

With our kin­dred dear, in that home of love,
While the ag­es eter­nal fly,
We will meet and sing at the Sav­ior’s feet,
But we ne­ver will say good­bye.
