Verse 1

G7         C                         F
Soon we'll come to the end of life's journey
C                            G7
And perhaps we'll never meet anymore
C                                 F
Till we gather in Heaven's bright city
C                G7        C
Far away on that beautiful shore

Verse 2

G7    C                             F
If we never meet again this side of Heaven
C                                         G7
As we struggle through this world and its strife
C                                          F
There's another meeting place somewhere in Heaven
C                  G7       C
By the side of the river of life

Verse 3

F                              C
Where the charming roses bloom forever
G7
And where separation comes no more
C                                   F
If we never meet again this side of Heaven
C                       G7        C
I will meet you on that beautiful shore

Verse 4

G7      C                        F
Oh they say we shall meet by the river
C                                     G7
Where no storm clouds ever darken the sky
C                              F
And they say we'll be happy in Heaven
C                G7           C
In the wonderful sweet by and by

Verse 5

F                              C
Where the charming roses bloom forever
G7
And where separation comes no more
C                                   F
If we never meet again this side of Heaven
C                       G7        C
I will meet you on that beautiful shore
