“I’ll Meet You in the Morning” is a gospel song written by Albert E. Brumley, the Oklahoma-born songwriter who was among the most successful gospel composers of the twentieth century — the man behind “I’ll Fly Away,” “Turn Your Radio On,” and hundreds of other songs. He wrote this one in the 1930s.
The song is a classic of the gospel “heaven reunion” type. Its lyric looks past death to a joyful meeting in the morning by the bright riverside, where loved ones separated on earth will be reunited and all sorrow will have passed. That comforting vision made it a fixture of church singing and funerals alike.
The song was recorded within a few years of its writing and spread quickly through Southern gospel and, in time, bluegrass.
