THE MEETING IN THE AIR
WRITTEN BY M. T. ROBERTS
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
