Lyrics:
We shall meet beyond the river,
By and by,
And the darkness will be over,
By and by:
With the toilsome journey done,
And the glorious battle won,
We shall shine forth as the sun,
By and by.
We shall wake the harps of glory,
By and by:
We shall sing the “old, old story”,
By and by:
And the strains, forevermore,
Shall be wafted o'er and o'er
Yonder everlasting shore,
By and by.
We shall rest from tribulation,
By and by:
And from labor and temptation,
By and by:
Then these worn and weary feet
Shall walk on the golden street;
Old companions we shall greet,
By and by.
We shall rise from death victorious,
By and by:
And receive a crown all glorious,
By and by:
All the storms and billows passed,
And the anchor safely cast,
We shall meet in Heaven at last,
By and by.
