Brother, shall We Meets
Shall we meet beyond the river,
Where the surges cease to roll?
Where in all the bright forever, Z
Sorrow ne'er shall press the soul?

Who have bowed beneath deaths wave?
Shall we meet the holy myriads,
who are ransomed from the grave?

Shall we meet in that bright morning,
Beyond times dark, tedious night3

Scattering SORROW with its light?

To oblivion fee away?

OF fan everlasting day? -

Rolls its harmony around,
And creation swells the chorus,
With its sweet melodious soundf

Through the lapse Of endless yearsY

Where pellucid waters glide?
Mid the healing leaves and flowers
That in beauty do abide?
Where salvation's blessed harpings
Float in holy melody?
Where the monthly fruits are ripening
Upon Efe's immortal tree?
