If We Never Meet Again

 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14  But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 

[14] For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.


This scripture consoles many believers who have lost loved ones, knowing Jesus will bring them with Him when He comes to get us. 


I’m pretty sure I’ll never meet again many in my past who read this blog, but I’ll be looking for you in Heaven. Won’t that be great!


If We Never Meet Again

__________________________


Soon we'll come to the end of life's journey,    —    And perhaps we'll never meet any more,    —    Till we gather in Heaven's bright city    —    Far away on that beautiful shore.


CHORUS:

If we never meet again this side of Heaven    —    As we struggle through this world and it's strife,    —    There's another meeting place somewhere in Heaven    —    By the side of the river of life.    —    Where the charming roses bloom forever  —  And where separations come no more.  —  If we never meet again this side of Heaven    —    I will meet you on that beautiful shore.


O, so often we’re parted with sorrow,    —    benedictions often quicken our pain,    —    but we never shall sorrow in Heaven,    —    God be with you till we meet again.


Oh, they say we shall meet by the river,    —    Where no storm clouds ever darken the sky,    —    And they say we'll be happy in Heaven    —    

In the wonderful sweet by and by.    —    


Albert E. Brumley  1945
