9295. What A Gathering That Will Be

1 At the sounding of the trumpet, when the saints are gathered home,
We will greet each other by the crystal sea,
With the friends and all the loved ones there awaiting us to come,
What a gath’ring of the faithful that will be!

Refrain:
What a gath’ring, gath’ring,
At the sounding of the glorious jubilee!
What a gath’ring, gath’ring,
What a gath’ring of the faithful that will be!

2 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 gath’ring of the faithful that will be! [Refrain]

3 At the great and final judgment, when the hidden comes to light,
When the Lord in all His glory we shall see;
At the bidding of our Savior, Come, ye blessèd, to My right,
What a gath’ring of the faithful that will be! [Refrain]
