On That Bright And Golden Morning

English Christian Songs Lyrics

1. On that bright and golden morning
When the Son of Man shall come,
And the radiance of His glory we shall see:
When from ev’ry clime and nation
He shall call His people home -
What a gath’ring of the ransomed that will be!

CHORUS

What a gath’ring! What a gath’ring!
What a gath’ring of the ransomed in
The summer land of love!
What a gath’ring! What a gath’ring!
Of the ransomed in that happy home above!

2. When the blest who sleep in Jesus at
His bidding shall arise
From the silence of the grave and from the sea;
And with bodies all celestial they shall
meet Him in the skies
What a gath’ring and rejoicing there will be!

3. When our eyes behold the city, with its
“many mansions” bright,
And its river, calm and restful, flowing free -
When the friends that death has parted
shall in bliss again unite -
What a gath’ring and a greeting there will be.

4. Oh, the King is surely coming, and the time
is drawing nigh,
When the blessed day of promise we shall see:
Then the changing “in a moment, in the
twinkling of an eye,”
And for ever in His presence we shall be !
