I’ll Meet You

I will meet you in the morning, by the bright river side,

When all sorrow has drifted away;

I’ll be standing at the portals, when the gates open wide,

At the close of life’s long, dreary day.

I’ll meet you in the morning with a “How do you do,”

And we’ll sit down by the river and with rapture “auld” acquaintance renew,

You’ll know me in the morning, by the smiles that I wear,

When I meet you in the morning, in the city that is built foursquare.

I will meet you in the morning, in the sweet by and by,

And exchange the old cross for a crown;

There will be no disappointments and nobody shall die,

In that land, e’er the sun goeth down.

I will meet you in the morning, at the end of the way,

On the streets of that city of gold;

Where we all can be together and be happy for aye,

While the years and the ages shall roll.
