When shall we all meet again? When the sons of Israel come,

When shall we our rest obtain? When they build Jerusalem,-

When our pilgrimage be o'er, When the house of God is reared,

Parting sighs be known no more, And Messiah's way prepared-

When Mount Zion we regain, When from heaven he comes to reign

There may we all meet again. In the clouds we'll meet again.

We to foreign climes repair, When the earth is cleansed by fire

Truth, the message which we bear, When the wicked's hopes expire-

Truth, which Angels oft have borne; When in cold oblivion's shade,

Truth, to comfort those who mourn, Proud oppressors all are laid-

Truth eternal will remain, Long will Zion's Mount remain,

On its rock we'll meet again. There may we all meet again.

Now the bright and morning Star,

Spreads its glorious light afar-

Kindles up the rising dawn,

Of that bright Millenial [Millennial] morn-

When the Saints shall rise and reign,

Then may we all meet again.
