I shall meet you
Language: English
There is gladness in the morning, There is happiness and song; There’s a promise in the sunrise For the heart that waiteth long; For the heart that waiteth ever, Though the skies be clear or grey, For the passing of a shadow And the breaking of a day. I shall meet you in the morning, When at last shall rise the sun; And the waiting and the longing, And the wearying are done. Though the way be cold and dreary, And the journeying be long, When I meet you in the morning ‘Twill be summer-time and song. As the flow’rs uplift their faces To the sunrise and the dawn, Turns my vision ever upward Where the star of hope is born; For I’m waiting, waiting ever Till my golden dream comes true, When I waken unto gladness, And the morn at last brings you. I shall meet you in the morning, When at last shall rise the sun; And the waiting and the longing, And the wearying are done. Though the way be through the shadow, And the eventide be long, I shall meet you in the morning In the land of light and song.
