- 1When the mists have rolled in splendorFrom the beauty of the hills,And the sunlight falls in gladnessOn the river and the rills,We recall our Father’s promiseIn the rainbow of the spray:We shall know each other betterWhen the mists have rolled away.We shall know (We shall know) as we are known (as we are known,)Nevermore (Nevermore) to walk alone; (to walk a lone;)In the dawning of the morningOf that bright and happy day,We shall know each other betterWhen the mists have rolled away.
- 2Oft we tread the path before usWith a weary burdened heart;Oft we toil amid the shadows,And our fields are far apart;But the Savior’s “Come, ye blessed”All our labor will repay,When we gather in the morningWhere the mists have rolled away.We shall know (We shall know) as we are known (as we are known,)Nevermore (Nevermore) to walk alone; (to walk a lone;)In the dawning of the morningOf that bright and happy day,We shall know each other betterWhen the mists have rolled away.
- 3We shall come with joy and gladness,We shall gather round the throne;Face to face with those that love us,We shall know as we are known:And the song of our redemptionShall resound thru endless dayWhen the shadows have departed,And the mists have rolled away.We shall know (We shall know) as we are known (as we are known,)Nevermore (Nevermore) to walk alone; (to walk a lone;)In the dawning of the morningOf that bright and happy day,We shall know each other betterWhen the mists have rolled away.
