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.
