465. WHAT A GATHERING THAT WILL BE


AT the sounding of the trumpet;
When the saints are gathered home,
We will greet each other by the crystal sea
(crystal Sea) with the friends and all the loved ones
there awaiting us, to come,
What a gathering of the faithful that will be!

CHORUS

What a gathering, gathering,
At the sounding of the glorious jubilee (Jubilee)
What a gathering, gathering
What a gathering of the faithful that will be!

When the angel of the Lord proclaims that time
shall be no more,
We shall gather, and the saved and ransomed see,
Then to meet again together, on the bright celestial shore
What a gathering of the faithful that will be!

At the great and final judgement, when the hidden
comes to light,
When the Lord in all His glory we shall see;
(we shall see)
At the bidding of our Saviour, “come ye blessed, to my right”
What a gath'ring of the faithful that will be.

When the golden harps are sounding and the
angel bands proclaim,
In triumphant strains the glorious jubilee; (Jubilee)
Then to meet and join to sing the song of
Moses and Lamb,
What a gathering of the faithful that will be!
