On That Bright And Golden Morning Hymn 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 every clime and nation

He shall call His people home—

What a gath’ring of the ransomed that will be !

What a gath’ ring ! what a gath’ ring I

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.
