"We Shall Know Each Other There" (14 Oct 1870) Answer to "Shall We Know Each Other There" Words by Francis (Fanny) Jane Crosby, 1820-1915 Music by William Howard Doane, 1832-1915 Boston, MA: White, Smith & Perry, 293,300 Washington St. [Source: 02832@LoC] 1.  Know each other blessed comfort, When this mortal life is o’er, We shall know our friends departed, Kindred spirits gone before, In our holy thrill of transport They will be the first to share, First to bid us kindly welcome, We shall know each other there. CHORUS We shall know each other there, We shall know each other there, We shall meet beyond the river, We shall know each other there. 2.  Know each other who will question Truth so grateful to the heart. When its cords are torn and bleeding, When its earthly hopes depart, Christian love how pure and sacred Who the parting scene could bear. Did not mercy whisper gently, We shall know each other there? 3.  Sweet the moments when we gather In the house of God to pray, Precious tears are those we mingle, How they cheer us on our way, Thro’ the glass of Faith directed To our Father’s mansion fair Comes the golden light of promise We shall know each other there.
