122. No Partings in Heaven

1 When we shall reach the heav’nly shore,
Our toiling for the Master o’er,
We’ll meet our loved and lost once more,
And never say farewell.

Refrain:
We’ll speak no sad farewell,
No sorrowful farewell;
In heav’n we’ll meet, our friends to greet,
And never say farewell.

2 On high, a reunited band,
Before the throne of God we’ll stand,
And clasp anew each loving hand,
And never say farewell. [Refrain]

3 No more the partings full of pain;
No more the flow of tears like rain;
No, when we meet on Eden’s plain,
And never say farewell. [Refrain]

4 Oh, that will be a happy day,
All tears forever wiped away,
In heav’n with our dear friends to stay,
And never say farewell. [Refrain]
