               C
    You have heard of little Moses in the bulrush,
                                              G
    you have heard of fearless David and his sling,

    you have heard the story told of dreaming Joseph,
            G7                           C
    and of Jonah and the whale you often sing.

          C
There is going to be a meeting in the air,
                              G
in that sweet, sweet bye and bye,

I am going to meet you, meet you over there,
         G7              C
in that home beyond the sky.

Such singing you will hear never heard by mortal ear,
           C7                F
'twill be glorious, I do declare,
                       C
and God's own son will be the leading one
        G     G7      C
at the meeting in the air.

               C
    There are many, many others through the Bible
                                             G
    I should like to meet them all, I do declare,

    by and by the Lord will surely let us meet them
             G7            C
    at that meeting in the air.

          C
There is going to be a meeting in the air,
                              G
in that sweet, sweet bye and bye,

I am going to meet you, meet you over there,
         G7              C
in that home beyond the sky.

Such singing you will hear never heard by mortal ear,
           C7                F
'twill be glorious, I do declare,
                       C
and God's own son will be the leading one
        G     G7      C
at the meeting in the air.
