WHEN THE MISTS HAVE ROLLED IN SPLENDOUR

When the mists have rolled in splendour 

1.

When the mists have rolled in splendour

From the beauty of the hills,

And the sunlight falls in gladness

On the rivers and the rills,

We recall our Father’s promise

In the rainbow of the spray:

We shall know each other better

When the mists have rolled away.

Refrain:

We shall know, as we are known,

Never more to walk alone,

In the dawning of the morning

Of that bright and happy day,

We shall know each other better,

When the mists have rolled away.

2.

Oft we tread the path before us

With a weary, hardened heart.

Oft we toil amid the shadows,

And our fields are far apart.

But the Savior’s “Come, ye blessèd”

All our labor will repay

When we gather in the morning

Where the mists have rolled away.

Refrain:

We shall know, as we are known,

Never more to walk alone,

In the dawning of the morning

Of that bright and happy day,

We shall know each other better,

When the mists have rolled away.

3.

We 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 redemption

Shall resound through endless day

When the shadows have departed

And the mists have rolled away.

Refrain:

We shall know, as we are known,

Never more to walk alone,

In the dawning of the morning

Of that bright and happy day,

We shall know each other better,

When the mists have rolled away.
