the meeting in the air

You have heard of little Moses in the bulrush, You have heard of fearless David and his sling;
You have heard the story told of dreaming Joseph, And of Jonah and the whale you often sing.
There are many, many others through the Bible.
I should like to meet them all, I do declare! By and by the Lord will surely let us meet them At the meeting in the air.

CHORUS
There is going to be a meeting in
the air,
In the sweet, sweet by and by;
I am going to meet you, meet you there
In that home beyond the sky;
Such singing you will hear, never
heard by mortal ear,
‘Twill be glorious, I do declare!
And God’s own Son will be the leading one
At the meeting in the air.

Many things will there be missing, in that meeting;
For the mourners bench
will have no place at all;
There will
never be a sermon preached to sinners, For the sinner had refused to heed the call.
There will be no mourning over wayward loved ones, There will be no


lonely nights of pleading prayer;
All our burdens and our anguish will be
lifted At the meeting in the air.

There the doubters will be missing altogether, All the skeptics will be
absent on that day;
There will be no grumblers present to disturb us, And
the Achans will be busy far away.
There the saints will have His “seal
upon their foreheads,” Dressed in raiment none but ransomed ones can
wear;
All who have the wedding garments will be present At the
meeting in the air.
