We’ll Gather There in Glory

The word of God is giv­en

To all who serve Him here

That when the Lord from Heav­en

In glo­ry shall ap­pear

We then shall be de­liv­ered

From sor­row

sin

and pain;

And if for Christ we suf­fer

With Him we then shall reign.

We are go­ing home to Je­sus

Going home to Je­sus!

Going to the man­sions

He’s pre­par­ing there on high!

We are go­ing home to Je­sus

Going home to Je­sus!

And we’ll ga­ther there in glo­ry

By and by!

Once in our sin we wan­dered

Far

far away from God

And pre­cious hours we squan­dered

Upon the down­ward road;

But God in grace hath called us

And giv­en us to share

The pur­chase of our Sav­ior

A man­sion bright and fair.

Now with this hope to cheer us

And with the Spir­it’s seal

That all our sins were par­doned

Thro’ Him whose stripes did heal;

As strang­ers and as pil­grims

No place on earth we own

But work and watch as serv­ants

Until our Lord shall come.
