Verse 1
I am thinCking of the rapture
in our blesFsed home on hiCgh,
When the redeCemed are gatheDring iGn;
How we'll raCise the heavenly
anthem in that ciFty in the sCky,
When the redeCemed aAmre gathGering iCn,
Chorus
When the redeCemed are gathering in,
Washed like the snFow, and free from all siCn;
How we will shCout, and hFow we will siCng,
When the redeCemed are gatheGring iCn
There will bCe a great procession
over oFn the street of goCld,
When the redeCemed are gatheDring iGn;
O what muCsic, O what singing,
o'er the ciFty will be rolCled,
When the redeeCmed are gatheGring iCn
Saints will siCng redemption's
story with their voiFces clear
and stroCng,
When the redeeCmed are gatheDring iGn;
Then the angCles all will listen,
For they canFnot join that soCng,
When the redeeCmed are gatheGring iCn
Then the SaviCour will give orders
to preFpare the banquet boaCrd,
When the redeeCmed are gathDering iGn;
And we'll heCar His invitation,
"Come, ye bleFssed of the LorCd,"
When the redeeCmed are gatheGring iCn
