1 Shall we sing in heaven forever,
Shall we sing? Shall we sing?
Shall we sing in heaven forever,
In that happy land?

Refrain:
Yes! oh, yes! in that land, that happy land,
They that meet shall sing forever,
Far beyond the rolling river,
Meet to sing and love forever,
In that happy land.

2 Shall we know each other ever,
In that land?
Shall we know each other ever,
In that happy land?

Refrain:
Yes! oh, yes! in that land, that happy land,
They that meet shall know each other,
Far beyond the rolling river,
Meet to sing and love forever,
In that happy land.

3 Shall we rest from care and sorrow,
In that land?
Shall we rest from care and sorrow,
In that happy land?

Refrain:
Yes! oh, yes! in that land, that happy land,
They that meet shall rest forever,
Far beyond the rolling river,
Meet to sing and love forever,
In that happy land.

4 Shall we meet our dear lost children
In that land?
Shall we meet our dear lost children
In that happy land?

Refrain:
Yes! oh, yes! in that land, that happy land,
Children meet and sing forever,
Far beyond the rolling river,
Meet to sing and love forever,
In that happy land.

5 Shall we know our blessed Saviour
In that land?
Shall we know our blessed Saviour
In that happy land?

Refrain:
Yes! oh, yes! in that land, that happy land,
We shall know our blessed Saviour
Far beyond the rolling river,
Love and serve him there forever,
In that happy land.
