This is one of my favorite hymns. It popped into my mind tonight and I've been humming it to myself for the past hour ...

Soon we'll come to the end of life's journey
And perhaps we'll never meet anymore
'Til we gather in heaven's bright city
Far away on that beautiful shore
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 separation comes no more
If we never meet again this side of heaven
I will meet you on that beautiful shore
And they said we shall meet by the river
Where no storms, clouds ever darken the sky
And they say we'll be happy in Heaven
God be with you till we meet again

We'll meet you on that beautiful shore, Gretchen!

Amen! & A blessed assurance, to any & all who are saved.
Truly salves a saved grieving one’s, temporal hurt & sorrow.

Amen, Jonny. Although I never heard that hymn, so don't know the melody, the lyrics are beautiful. Certainly such a gentle, good soul as Gretchen will be so rewarded.
