1 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.
[Refrain]
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, - four square.
2 I will meet you in the morning,
In the sweet by and by,
And exchange the old cross for a crown;
There will be no disappointments
And nobody shall die,
In that land where the sun goeth down. [Refrain]
3 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 always
While the years and the ages shall roll. [Refrain]
