I will meet you in the morning by the bright river side

When all sorrow has drifted away

I'll be standing at the portals when the gates open wide

At the close of that long dreary day

I'll meet you in the morning

With a how do you do

How do you do

We'll sit down by the river

And with rapture old acquaintance renew

You'll know me in the morning

By the smiles that I wear

When I meet you in the morning

In the city that is built four square

I will meet you in the morning at the sweet by and by

And exchange the old clothes for a gown

There will be no disappointment and nobody shall die

In that land where the sun goes down

I'll meet you in the morning

With a how do you do how do you do

We'll sit down by the river

And with rapture old acquaintance renew

You'll know me in the morning

By the smiles that I wear

When I meet you in the morning

In the city that is built four square

I will meet you in the morning at the end of the way

On the streets of that city of gold

Where we all can be together and be happy for aye

While the years and the ages shall roll

I'll meet you in the morning

With a how do you do how do you do

We'll sit down by the river

And with rapture old acquaintance renew

You'll know me in the morning

By the smiles that I wear

When I meet you in the morning

In the city that is built four square
