LyicsWhen shall we meet again,
Meet ne'er to sever?
When will peace wreath her chain
Rounds us for-ev-er?
Our hearts will ne'er re-pose,
Safe from each blast that blows
In this dark vale of woes,
Nev-er, no, nev-er.
When shall love freely flow,
Pure as life's river?
When shall sweet friendship glow,
Changeless for-ev-er?
Where joys celestial thrill,
Where bliss each heart shall fill,
And fears of part-ing chill,
Nev-er, no, nev-er.
Up to that world of light
Take us, dear Sav-ior;
May we all there u-nite,
Hap-py for-ev-er;
Where kindred spir-its dwell,
There may our mu-sic swell,
And time our joys dis-pel,
Nev-er, no, nev-er.
