1. When the mists have rolled in splendor
From the beauty of the hills,
And the Sunlight falls in gladness
On the river and the rills,
We recall our Father’s promise
In the rainbow of the spray:
We shall know each other better
When the mists have rolled away.
Chorus:
We shall know (we shall know) as we are known (as we are known),
Nevermore (nevermore) to walk alone (to walk alone),
In the dawning of the morning
Of that bright and happy day
We shall know each other better
When the mists have rolled away.
2. Oft we tread the path before us
With a weary burdened heart;
Oft we toil amid the shadows,
And our field are far apart;
But the Savior’s “Come, ye blessed”
All our labors will repay,
When we gather in the morning
When the mists have rolled away.
3. We shall come with joy and gladness,
We shall gather round the throne;
Face to face with those that love us,
We shall know as we are known:
And the song of our redemption
Shall resound thro’ endless day
When the shadows have departed,
And the mists have rolled away.
