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 another meeting place somewhere in heaven
By the side of the river of life
(Where the charming roses bloom forever)
(And where separation comes 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
(Where the charming roses bloom)
