Počuli ste o malom Mojžišovi, aj o Dávidovi a jeho praku. Počuli ste príbeh o Jozefovi, aj o Jonášovi často spievate.
You have heard of little Moses in the bulrush, You have heard of fearless David and his sling; You have heard the story told of dreaming Joseph, And of Jonah and the whale you often sing.

Je tam mnoho, mnoho ďalších mien v Biblii, rád by som ich všetkých stretol, vyznávam. Čoskoro ich istotne uvidíme v tom stretnutí v nebi tam.
There are many, many others through the Bible, I should like to meet them all, I do declare! By and by the Lord will surely let us meet them At the meeting in the air.
Refr.:
Rýchlo blíži sa stretnutie tam v povetrí, v blahom zjednotení sa. S vami stretnem sa na tamtej strane v dome tom, kde býva Boh.
There is going to be a meeting in the air, In the sweet, sweet by and by; I am going to meet you, meet you over there In that home beyond the sky;
Refr.2:
Budete čuť ľúby spev, jak ešte nikdy predtým, nádherné bude to, vravím vám. A nás Boží Syn bude sprevádzať v tom stretnutí v nebi tam.
Such singing you will hear, Never heard by mortal ear, ‘Twill be glorious, I do declare! And God’s Own Son will be the leading One At the meeting in the air.
3.
Mnoho vecí tam nebude v tom stretnutí, nikto smútiaci tam vôbec nebude. Nebude tam nikto kázať pre hriešnikov, lebo tí odmietli počuť volanie.
Many things will there be missing, in that meeting: For the mourners bench will have no place at all; There will never be a sermon preached to sinners, For the sinner had refused to heed the call.
4.
Nebude už za blízkymi smútenie, nebudú už prosby úpenlivé. Všetky ťarchy a bolesti budú vzaté v tom stretnutí v nebi tam.
There will be no mourning over wayward loved ones There will be no lonely nights of pleading prayer; All our burdens and our anguish will be lifted, At the meeting in the air.
5.
Pochybovači žiadni tam viac nebudú, všetci skeptici v tom dni budú už preč. Ani reptáci nás rušiť viac nebudú, aj Achanovia odídu už preč.
There the doubters will be missing altogether, All the skeptics will be absent on that day; There will be no grumblers present to disturb us, And the Achans will be busy far away.
6.
Svätí budú zapečatení na čelách, odiati do šiat len pre vyvolených, len tí, čo majú svoje svadobné rúcho v tom stretnutí v nebi tam.
There the saints will have His ‘seal upon their foreheads,’ Dressed in raiment none but ransomed ones can wear; All who have the wedding garments will be present At the meeting in the air.
