Representative Text

1 When we all gather home in the morning,
On the banks of the bright Jasper sea,
With the loved ones who long have been waiting,
What a gath'ring indeed it will be.

Refrain:
What a gath'ring, gath'ring,
what a gath'ring indeed it will be
When we all gather home in the morning,
What a gath'ring indeed it will be.

2 When we all gather home in the morning,
And from sorrow and pain we are free,
We shall join in the song with the ransomed,
What a gath'ring indeed it will be. [Refrain]

3 When we all gather home in the morning,
And our blessed Redeemer we see,
We shall meet 'round the throne of His glory,
What a gath'ring indeed it will be. [Refrain]

4 When we all gather home in the morning,
In the land of the soul's libertty,
Where the saints of all ages have gathered,
What a gath'ring indeed it will be. [Refrain]
