SEQUEL TO THE VACANT CHAIR.
ny DIR. p. W. THOMAS.
We shall meet and never miss him,
There will be no vacant chair,
When he comes, our great Redeemer,
We shall meet, shall meet him there.
How my. heart leaps up for gladness,
As read the promise given,
OF a rest where there's sorrow
Yes, rest, rest in Heaven.
CHoRUs-Yes, wen meet and never miss him,
There will be no parting there
And wen never, never linger,
Round another vacant chair.
We shall meet, OH yes, wen meet him
Him darling and our pride
We shall meet-the conflict over
When He comes to claim His bride,
You, his mother, weeping lonely,
For the cherished missing one.
You shall see the crown immortal
Placed upon your darling son.
CHoRus-Yes, well meet and never miss him, &c
Brother, sister, tears will glisten,
When you meet that brother brave,
Who upon the field of conflict
Made for him ,oldiers grave
We are weeping, mother, sister,
l, his brother, side by side,
But SORROWS will be ended,
When our Saviour claims his bride.
CBoRus-Yes wen meet and never miss him, &c
