LyicsWHEN the mists have roll'd in splendor
From the summit of the hills,
And the sunshine, warm and tender,
Falls in kisses on the rills,
We may read love's shining letter
In the rainbow of the spray;
We shall know each other better
When the mists have clear'd away.--CHO.
Chorus.--We shall know as we are known,
Nevermore to walk alone,
In the dawning of the morning,
When the mists have clear'd away;
In the dawning of the morning,
When the mists have clear'd away.
If we err in human blindness,
And forget that we are dust;
If we miss the law of kindness
When we struggle to be just,
Snowy wings of love shall cover
All the faults that hide away,
When the weary watch is over,
And the mists have clear'd away.--CHO.
When the mists have ris'n above us,
As our Father knows His own,
Face to face with those that love us,
We shall know as we are known;
Lo! beyond the orient meadows
Floats the golden fringe of day;
Heart to heart, we bide the shadows
Till the mists have clear'd away.--CHO.
When the silv'ry mists have veil'd us
From the faces of our own,
Oft we think their love has fail'd us,
And we tread our path alone;
We should love them well and truly,
We should trust them day by day;
Neither hate nor love unduly,
If the mists were clear'd away.--CHO.
