Sweet Reunion 591
Tune: Mary Whitehurst, 2009

Our fathers who have gone before,
Have set before our eyes,
The path that we should follow on,
Until we reach the skies.
We call to mind their kind ways,
Their tender mercies giv’n,
We feel their presence ever near,
When e’er we sing of heav’n.
Our tears of grief shall be replaced,
With mem’ries sweet and clear,
And owe to Jesus boundless grace,
The hope that we hold dear.
Of sweet reunion on high.
With those who’ve gone before,
Whose faith already is made sight,
And praise Him evermore.
The fellowship by Adam lost,
Has been to us restored,
The penalty of sin was paid,
By Jesus Christ, our Lord.
The Spirit in our heart moves,
And testifies of grace,
We long to residence above,
And see His loving face.
