1. I will meet you in the morning,
By the bright river side,
When all sorrow has drifted away,
I’ll be standing at the portals,
When the gates open wide,
At the close of life’s long, dreary day.
2. I will meet you in the morning,
In the sweet by and by,
And exchange the old cross for a crown,
There will be no disappointments,
And nobody shall die,
In that land when life’s sun goeth down.
3. I will meet you in the morning,
At the end of the way,
On the streets of that city of gold,
Where we all can be together,
And be happy for aye,
While the years and the ages shall roll.
Chorus: I’ll meet you in the morning,
With a “How do you do?”
And we’ll sit down by the river,
And with rapture auld acquaintance renew,
You’ll know me in the morning,
By the smiles that I wear,
When I meet you in the morning,
In the city that is built four square.
