Soon we'll come
to the end of life's journey
And perhaps we'll never meet anymore
Till we gather in heaven's bright city
Far away on that beautiful shore
If we never meet again
this side of heaven
As we struggle through this
world and its strife
There's an other meeting
place somewhere in heaven
By the side of the river of life
Where the charming roses
bloom forever
And where separations come no more
If we never meet again this side of heaven I will
meet you on that beautiful shore
Oh, so often we're parted
with sorrow
Benedictions often quicken our pain
But we never shall sorrow in heaven
God be with you till we meet again
If we never meet again, this side of heaven
As we struggle through this
world and its strife
There's an other meeting
place somewhere in heaven
By the side of the river of life
Where the charming roses
bloom forever
And where separations come no more
If we never meet again this side of heaven
I will meet you on that beautiful shore
Oh, they say we shall meet by the river
Where no storm clouds
ever darken the sky
And they say we'll be happy in heaven
In the wonderful, sweet by -and -by
If we never meet again, the sight of heaven
As we struggle through this
world and its strife
There's an other meeting place,
somewhere in heaven
By the side of the river of life
Where the charming roses
bloom forever
And ever
And where separations come no more
If we never meet again
This side of heaven I will meet
you on that beautiful shore
