1 They come from the East and West,
They come from the lands afar
To feast with the King, to dine as His guest;
How blessed these pilgrims are!
Beholding His hallow’d face,
Aglow with a light divine;
Blest partakers of His grace,
As gems in His crown to shine.
Refrain:
O, Jesus is coming soon,
The judgment will then begin;
O what if our Lord, this moment should come
For those who are free from sin,
O then would it bring you joy,
Or sorrow and deep despair;
When the Lord in glory comes,
We’ll meet Him up in the air.
2 I’ll look on the great white throne,
Before it the ransom’d stand;
No longer are tears, no sorrow is known
Nor death in that goodly land.
My Savior has gone before,
Preparing the way for me;
Soon we’ll meet to part no more
Thru time or eternity. [Refrain]
3 The gates of that holy place
Stand open by night and day;
O look to the Lord who “giveth more grace,”
Whose lone has prepar’d the way.
A home in those mansions fair,
His hand hath reserv’d for all;
For the wedding feast prepare,
Obeying the gracious call. [Refrain]
4 They come from the thorny way,
From regions beyond the sea;
They come from the vale, from mountain and dale,
O, Shepherd of men, to Thee,
They soar to the mount of God,
Beholding the Bridegroom fair;
He who trod our earthly sod
Will welcome each pilgrim there. [Refrain]
5 Since Jesus has set me free,
I’m happy as I can be;
No longer I bear the burden of care,
His yoke is so sweet to me.
My soul was as bleak as night,
But darkness has taken flight;
Now I have the victory,
For Jesus has set me free. [Refrain]
