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]
