The Cyber Hymnal ‎#16722

16722. He Shall Appear

1. The se­cond time He shall ap­pear,
We’ll be ga­thered home,
To res­cue those to Him most dear;
We’ll be ga­thered home.
The dead in Christ shall then arise,
We’ll be ga­thered home,
And with the Lord as­cend the skies,
We’ll be ga­thered home.

Refrain:
We’ll work ’till Je­sus comes,
We’ll work ’till Je­sus comes,
We’ll wait ’till Je­sus comes,
And then be ga­thered home.

2. Then in the twink­ling of an eye,
We’ll be ga­thered home;
Shall we be changed, no more to die,
We’ll be ga­thered home.
And with the Lord, we each will sing,
We’ll be ga­thered home;
How He from death re­moves the sting,
We’ll be ga­thered home. [Refrain]

3. We’re go­ing to our home ab­ove,
We’ll be ga­thered home;
Where we shall dwell in bliss­ful love,
We’ll be ga­thered home;
Though oft we here are filled with fears,
We’ll be ga­thered home;
He there will wipe away our tears,
We’ll be ga­thered home. [Refrain]
