Goodbye:
I hope to meet you all someday,
In the land that will never pass away,
If we've been washed in the savior's blood,
We'll meet up there in the city of god,
We all have our troubles and trials here,
And part with ones we love so dear.
But if we've been washed in the savior's blood,
We'll meet up there in the city of god,
Oh won't that be happy day,
When the lord shall take his bride away,
Then we will dwell in that fair place,
Where we'll behold his smiling face.
