We shall greet them at home, we shall greet them,
When the sorrow of life shall be o’er,
Our loved ones, we hope soon to meet them,
On Eden’s fair, beautiful shore;
The glorious thought, how consoling,
To know that the time is so nigh,
When Jesus, the world, shall, controlling,
Permit us to join them on high.
We shall greet them at home, we shall greet them
Though now they are hid from our sight,
We think of the time we shall meet them;
And it oft fills our hearts with delight;
We have laid them away in deep sadness,
Yet not without hope in our breast,
For again they will join us with gladness,
And enter the heavenly rest.
We shall greet them at home, we shall greet them,
Where nothing can ever divide,
Where sickness, or death, can not harm them,
Nor tear them again from our side;
There we’ll range beside life’s cooling river,
‘Neath the tree of life’s shade we shall roam,
With the glory of God shining ever,
We’ll greet them, we’ll greet them at home.
