What a Meeting That Will Be!

When Jesus calls his jewels

1

When Jesus calls his jewelsFrom every land and sea,And takes them home to glory,What a meeting that will be!

2

Refrain (soprano, upper line).We'll meet them in glory,Meet them in glory,Meet them in glory;What a meeting that will be!

3

Refrain (alto, tenor and bass, lower line, to «glory;»; then with the soprano).We'll meet them all in glory,Meet them all in glory,Meet them all in glory;What a meeting that will be!

2

We'll meet the friends departed,—The loved ones laid away;Not one will be forgottenOn the resurrection day.

3

We'll meet the kings and prophetsOf ages long ago,And all the faithful martyrsWho bled for truth below.

4

We'll meet in all his beautyThe One whom we adore,Who died that we, believing,Might live forevermore.

5

O, hope of all the faithful!With longing hearts we say,"Come quickly, blessed Saviour,And bring the promised day."
