77. When the Redeemed are Gathering In

1 I am thinking of the rapture in our blessed home on high,
When the redeemed are gathering in;
How we’ll raise the heav’nly anthem in that city in the sky,
When the redeemed are gathering in.

Refrain:
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.

2 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. [Refrain]

3 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. [Refrain]

4 Then the Savior 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. [Refrain]
