Lyics

We shall meet no more to part;

Cease thy sorrows, mourning heart!

Weary days will soon de-part-

Then we may rest for-ev-er!

When the work of life is done,

When the victor's crown is won,

Then, im-mor-tal life be-gun,

We no more shall sever.



CHO.- We shall meet no more to part,

Cease thy sor-rows, mourning heart!

Weary days will soon de-part,

Then we may rest for-ev-er.



In the house of peace and bliss,

In the world where Jesus is,

When we bid adieu to this,

Then we may love for-ev-er!

Pu-ri-fied from every stain,

Thro' the Lamb that once was slain,

Breth-ren, we shall meet a-gain,

And be part-ed never.
