<blockquote>
<p>I sang this hymn for the first time in The Free Trade Hall in Manchester, in 1883, at one of Mr. Moody&#8217;s meetings. The service was held at eight o&#8217;clock on a gloomy winter morning. The hall was densely crowded and filled with mist, so much so that the people could hardly be discerned at the farther end of the hall. I felt the need of something to brighten up the meeting, and then and there decided to launch this new song. It was received with much
enthusiasm, and at once became a favorite of Mr. Moody&#8217;s, and continued to be so until his death.</p>

<div class="lyrics">
<p>When the mists have rolled in splendor<br>
From the beauty of the hills,<br>
And the sunlight falls in gladness<br>
On the rivers and the rills,<br>
We recall our Father&#8217;s promise<br>
In the rainbow of the spray:<br>
We shall know each other better<br>
When the mists have rolled away.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p class="refrain">We shall know, as we are known,<br>
Never more to walk alone,<br>
In the dawning of the morning<br>
Of that bright and happy day,<br>
We shall know each other better,<br>
When the mists have rolled away.</p>
<p>Oft we tread the path before us<br>
With a weary, hardened heart.<br>
Oft we toil amid the shadows,<br>
And our fields are far apart.<br>
But the Savior&#8217;s &#8220;Come, ye bless&egrave;d&#8221;<br>
All our labor will repay<br>
When we gather in the morning<br>
Where the mists have rolled away.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>We shall come with joy and gladness,<br>
We shall gather round the throne.<br>
Face to face with those that love us<br>
We shall know as we are known.<br>
And the song of our redemption<br>
Shall resound through endless day<br>
When the shadows have departed<br>
And the mists have rolled away.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
