Shall we gather at His coming,
When the dead in Christ arise?
Will you hear the Savior's summons
To God's home beyond the skies?
Daily nearer draws His coming:
This makes all His own rejoice!
Who are they that fear to meet Him?
All who now love not His voice.
When the Savior at His coming
Shall His own in glory bring,
Will you be among the number?
Will you, too, His praises sing?
Ere the day of Jesus' coming,
Seek His pardon free to know;
Be your stains of sin like scarlet,
He will wash you white as snow.
