C G
Here in the vineyard of my Lord
F C
I hope to live and labor
G
And be obedient to my God
F C
Until my dying hour
G F
I love to see the lilies grow
C G
And view them all a-standing
F C F
In the right place while here below
C
Just as the Lord commanded
C G
We ofttimes meet, both night and day
F C
A faithful band of pilgrims
G
We read, we sing, we preach and pray
F C
And find the Lord most precious
G F
But while we sing our song of love
C G
Our hearts are deeply wounded;
Am Em F
Perhaps we all will meet no more
C
Here in the congregation
C G F C
C G F C
C G
But if on earth we meet no more
F C
We hope to meet in heaven
G
Where congregations ne'er break up
F C
But dwell in sweet communion
G F
Where all the ransomed church of God
C G
Shall meet no more to sever
Am C F
With not a sorrow, pain nor tear
C
Sing one sweet chord forever
