189 I’LL MEET YOU (C)

---

I will meet you in the morning, by the bright river side, When all sorrow has drifted away; I’ll be standing at the portals, when the gates open wide, At the close of life’s long dreary day.

Chorus

I’ll meet you in the morning with a “How do you do” And we’ll sit down by the river and with rapture “auld” acquaintance renew, You’ll know me in the morning, by the smiles that I wear, When I meet you in the morning, in the city that is built foursquare.

I will meet you in the morning, in the sweet by and by And exchange the bid cross for a crown; There will be no disappointments and nobody shall die, In that land, e’er the sun goeth down.

Chorus

I’ll meet you in the morning with a “How do you do” And we’ll sit down by the river and with rapture “auld” acquaintance renew, You’ll know me in the morning, by the smiles that I wear, When I meet you in the morning, in the city that is built foursquare.

I will meet you in the morning, at the end of the way, On the streets of that city of gold; Where we all can be together and be happy for aye. While the years and the ages shall roll.

Chorus

I’ll meet you in the morning with a “How do you do” And we’ll sit down by the river and with rapture “auld” acquaintance renew, You’ll know me in the morning, by the smiles that I wear, When I meet you in the morning, in the city that is built foursquare.
