One by one our friends are going on before
Going on before
going on before
Up to mansions that are ever bright and fair
O say
shall we meet them up there?
Gathering homeward one by one
When their work on earth is done
To those mansions bright and fair;
O say
shall we meet them up there?
One by one they gather on the golden shore
Gather on the shore
gather on the shore
Where they nevermore shall know a grief or care
O say
shall we meet them up there?
One by one they see the blessèd Savior’s face
See Him face to face
see Him face to face
And forevermore His glory they will share
O say
shall we meet them up there?
One by one they join to sing the glad new song
Sing the glad new song
sing the glad new song;
Robes of righteousness they evermore shall wear
O say
shall we meet them up there?
