LyicsWHEN shall we meet again?
Meet, ne'er to sever?
When will peace wreath her chain
Round us forever?
Our hearts will near repose,
Safe from each blast that blows
In this dark vale of woes,
Never, no, never.
When shall love freely flow
Pure as life's river:
When shall sweet friendship glow
Changeless forever?
When joys celestial thrill,
When bliss each heart shall fill,
And fears of parting chill,
Never, no, never?
Up to that world of light,
Take us, dear Saviour;
May we all there unite,
Happy forever!
Where kindred spirits dwell,
There may our music swell,
And time our joys dispel,
Never, no, never.
Soon shall we meet again,
Meet, ne'er to sever;
Soon will peace wreath her chain
Round us forever:
Our hearts will then repose,
Secure from worldly foes;
Our songs of praise shall close
Never, no, never.
