Lyrics from A Collection of Sacred Hymns for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Europe, 1840
Hymn 220 7 7 7 7 7 7 1. When shall we all meet again? When shall we our rest obtain? When our pilgrimage be o'er - Parting sighs be known no more? When mount Zion we regain, There may we all meet again. 2. We to foreign climes repair, Truth the message which we bear; Truth, which angels oft have borne, Truth to comfort those who mourn, Truth eternal will remain; On its rock we'll meet again. 3. Now the bright and Morning Star Spreads its glorious light afar - Kindles up the rising dawn Of that bright Millennial morn, When the Saints shall rise and reign, In the clouds we'll meet again. 4. When the sons of Israel come, When they build Jerusalem, When the house of God is reared, And Messiah's way prepared; When from heaven he comes to reign, There may we all meet again. 5. When the earth is cleansed by fire, When the wicked's hopes expire; When in cold oblivion's shade, Proud oppressors all are laid, Long will Zion's mount remain, There may we all meet again.
