Weeping hours will soon be over,
And a joy will come to the soul at last;
Kindred ties that here are broken,
We shall find when the night is o’er.

Refrain:
Weeping hours will soon be over,
Soon in bonds of union sweet,
With the dear ones gone before us,
We shall rest at Jesus’ feet.

Weeping hours will soon be over,
There’s a home above ever bright and fair;
We shall all forget our sorrow
In the bliss that awaits us there. [Refrain]

Weeping hours will soon be over,
Every tear be wiped from our eyes away;
When we know and greet each other
In the light of eternal day. [Refrain]

Weeping hours will soon be over,
All the toils and cares of the world shall cease;
Weary days and nights of watching,
Will be lost in the home of peace. [Refrain]
