THE MEETING IN THE AIR

WRITTEN BY M. T. ROBERTS

 

VERSE I

 

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 in the Bible

I should like to meet them all I do declare

By an by the Lord will surely let us meet them

At that 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 over there

In that home beyond the sky

Such singing there you’ll hear, never heard by mortal ear

Twill be glorious I do declare

And God’s own Son will be the leading one

At that meeting in the air

 

Verse II

 

There the doubters will be missing all together

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

 

Repeat Chorus twice, then:

 

And God’s own Son will be the leading one

At that meeting in the air
