I am thinking of the rapture in our blessed
home on high.
When the redeemed are gathering in;
How we’ll raise the heavenly anthem in
that city in the sky,
When the redeemed are gathering in.
When the redeemed are gathering in,
Washed like snow, and free from all sin;
How we will shout, and how we will sing,
When the redeemed are gathering in.
There will be a great procession over on the
streets of gold,
When the redeemed are gathering in;
O what music, O what singing, o’er the city
will be rolled,
When the redeemed are gathering in.
Saints will sing redemption’s story with
their voices clear and strong,
When the redeemed are gathering in;
Then the angels all will listen, for they
cannot join that song,
When the redeemed are gathering in.
Then the Saviour will give orders to
prepare the banquet board,
When the redeemed are gathering in;
And we’ll hear His invitation, “Come, ye
blessed of the Lord,”
When the redeemed are gathering in.
