Golden Shore

What a happy meet­ing there will be

When the loved ones gone be­fore

Shall the por­tals crowd their friend to see

Upon the gold­en shore.

What a meet­ing and a greet­ing

What a meet­ing and a greet­ing

Upon the gold­en shore!

What a meet­ing and a greet­ing

What a meet­ing and a greet­ing

When we meet to part no more!

Soon our feet will press the heav’n­ly strand

When this earth­ly life is o’er

Very soon will greet the heav’n­ly band

Upon the gold­en shore.

Hark! the voice of greet­ing in that clime

Hark! they sing in heav’n­ly lore

The an­gel­ic hosts their prais­es chime

Upon the gold­en shore.

With the shin­ing hosts the loved ones stand

Where sad part­ing comes no more

Waiting there to clasp their loved one’s hand

Upon the gold­en shore.
