The words of this hymn reach and send my faith and vision to the warmth of my brothers recent embraces and praises above. I can just hear this from the old Monroe Chapel organ- Mom pounding away. These expressions of this hymn we have all felt, inwardly, a yearning to carry us beyond each day knowing of an awaited day with them.
| 1. | Oh, what songs of the heart |
| We shall sing all the day, | |
| When again we assemble at home, | |
| When we meet ne’er to part | |
| With the blest o’er the way, | |
| There no more from our loved ones to roam! | |
| When we meet ne’er to part, | |
| Oh, what songs of the heart | |
| We shall sing in our beautiful home. | |
| 2. | Tho our rapture and bliss |
| There’s no song can express, | |
| We will shout, we will sing o’er and o’er, | |
| As we greet with a kiss, | |
| And with joy we caress | |
| All our loved ones that passed on before; | |
| As we greet with a kiss, | |
| In our rapture and bliss, | |
| All our loved ones that passed on before. | |
| 3. | Oh, the visions we’ll see |
| In that home of the blest, | |
| There’s no word, there’s no thought can impart, | |
| But our rapture will be | |
| All the soul can attest, | |
| In the heavenly songs of the heart; | |
| But our rapture will be | |
| In the vision we’ll see | |
| Best expressed in the songs of the heart. | |
| 4. | Oh, what songs we’ll employ! |
| Oh, what welcome we’ll hear! | |
| While our transports of love are complete, | |
| As the heart swells with joy | |
| In embraces most dear | |
| When our heavenly parents we meet! | |
| As the heart swells with joy, | |
| Oh, what songs we’ll employ, | |
| When our heavenly parents we meet! |
