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.
As Christians, we have a sorrow at the death of our loved ones, but we also have hope of seeing them again.
I’m also looking forward to seeing brothers and sisters in the Lord that I haven’t seen in many years.
If We Never Meet Again
_____________________________
Soon we’ll come to the end of life’s journey, — And perhaps we’ll never meet anymore — 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 its 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.
Oh 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
