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.

All who love the Lord below,

When they die to heaven will go,

And join the saints above.

O, that will be joyful, &c.

Little children will be there,

Who have sought the Lord by prayer

From every Sunday School.

O, that will be joyful, &c.

Teachers, too will meet above,

Pastors, parents, whom we love,

Shall meet to part no more.

O, that will be joyful, &c.

O, how happy we shall be!

For our Saviour we shall see

Exalted on his throne.

O, that will be joyful, &c.

There we all shall sing for joy,

And eternity employ

In praising Christ the Lord.

O, that will be joyful, &c.
