On That Bright And Golden Morning

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 !
