The Meeting in the Air (Martin)

There is soon to be a meet­ing

With our Sav­ior in the air

For He’s gone to realms of glo­ry

There our man­sions to pre­pare;

He is com­ing back to meet us

With a host of an­gels fair

And there’s sure to be some shout­ing

When we all meet there.

When we all meet there

At the meet­ing in the air

There is sure to be some shout­ing

When we all meet there;

When we all meet there

At the meet­ing in the air

There is sure to be some shout­ing

When we all meet there.

See the pa­tri­archs and pro­phets

Coming forth from burst­ing tombs

They are com­ing to this meet­ing

And they’re com­ing ve­ry soon;

There comes Ab­ra­ham and Is­aac

With their kin­dred ev­ery­where

There is sure to be some shout­ing

When we all get there.

There is Mos­es from Mount Ne­bo

There is Da­ni­el from the cave

They are march­ing in the fore­front

While the hosts their ban­ners wave;

O what joy to see them com­ing

To the meet­ing in the air!

There is sure to be some shout­ing

When they all get there.

Still they ga­ther

see them com­ing

From the mis­sion fields afar

With the pil­grims from all na­tions

And the mar­tyrs in the war;

See St. Paul

the great apos­tle

In his robes made white and fair

I am sure there’ll be some shout­ing

When they all get there.

Are you rea­dy for the meet­ing

With our Sav­ior in the air?

If your heart is pure and ho­ly

You will be no strang­er there;

He is com­ing soon

my bro­ther

With a host of an­gels fair

And I’m sure there’ll be some shout­ing

When we all meet there.
