American Old Time Song Lyrics: 11 Shall We Know Each Other There
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 11
Shall We Know Each Other There?
When we hear the music ringing
Through the bright celestial dome,
When sweet angel voices singing,
Gladly bid us welcome home,
To the nod of ancient story,
Where the spirit knows no care,
In the land of light And glory,
Shall we know each other there?
Chorus.
Shall we know each other, shall we know each other,
Shall we know each other there?
When the holy angels meet us,
As we go to join their band,
Shall we know the friends that greet us,
In the glorious spirit land?
Shall we see the same eyes shining
On us, as In days of yore?
Shall we feel their dear arms twining
Fondly round us as before?-Chorus.
Yes, my earth-worn soul rejoices,
And my weary heart grows light,
For the thrilling angel voices,
And the angel faces bright.
That shall welcome us in heaven,
Are the loved of long ago;
And to them 'tis kindly given,
Thus their mortal friends to know.-Chorus.
Oh, ye weary, sad and tossed ones,
Droop not, faint not by the way;
Ye shall join the loved and lost ones
In the land of perfect day.
Harp strings, touched by angel fingers,
Murmured in my raptured ear;
Evermore their sweet song lingersĀ"We shall know each other there.-Chorus.
