:When shall we all meet again? 
:When shall we our rest obtain? 
:When our pilgrimage be o'er, 
:Parting sighs be known no more, 
:When Mount Zion we regain, 
:There may we all meet again. 


:We to foreign climes repair, 
:Truth, the message which we bear, 
:Truth, which Angels oft have borne; 
:Truth, to comfort those who mourn, 
:Truth eternal will remain, 
:On its rock we'll meet again. 


:Now the bright and morning Star,
:Spreads its glorious light afar�
:Kindles up the rising dawn,
:Of that bright Millenial morn�
:When the Saints shall rise and reign,
:Then may we all meet again. 


:When the sons of Israel come,
:When they build Jerusalem,�
:When the house of God is reared,
:And Messiah's way prepared�
:When from heaven he comes to reign
:In the clouds we'll meet again.


:When the earth is cleansed by fire
:When the wicked's hopes expire�
:When in cold oblivion's shade,
:Proud oppressors all are laid�
:Long will Zion's Mount remain,
:There may we all meet again.
