If We Never Meet Again

Elvis Presley · I Believe: The Gospel Masters [2009]

Soon we'll come to the end of life's journey

And perhaps never meet anymore

Till we gather in heaven's bright city

Far away on that beautiful shore



If we never meet again this side of heaven

As we struggle through this world and it's strife

There's another meeting place somewhere in heaven

By the side of the river of life



Where the charming roses bloom forever

And where separations come no more

If we never meet again this side of heaven

I will meet you on that beautiful shore
