Here we suffer grief and pain,
Here we meet to part again;
In heaven we part no more.
O, that will be joyful!
Joyful, joyful, joyful!
O, that will be joyful!
When we meet to part no more.
2 All who love the Lord below,
When they die to heaven will go,
And join the saints above.
O, that will be joyful, &c.
3 Little children will be there,
Who have sought the Lord by prayer
From every Sunday School.
O, that will be joyful, &c.
4 Teachers, too will meet above,
Pastors, parents, whom we love,
Shall meet to part no more.
O, that will be joyful, &c.
5 O, how happy we shall be!
For our Saviour we shall see
Exalted on his throne.
O, that will be joyful, &c.
6 There we all shall sing for joy,
And eternity employ
In praising Christ the Lord.
O, that will be joyful, &c.
