908. When we gather at last over Jordan

1 When we gather at last over Jordan,
And the ransomed in Glory we see,
As the numberless sands of the seashore,
What a wonderful sight that will be!

Refrain:
Numberless as the sands of the seashore,
Numberless as the sands of the shore!
O what a sight ‘twill be
When the ransomed host we see,
As numberless as the sands of the seashore!

2 When we see all the saved of the ages,
Who from sorrow and trials are free,
Meeting there with a heavenly greeting,
What a wonderful sight that will be!

3 When we stand by the beautiful river,
‘Neath the shade of the life-giving tree,
Gazing over the fair land of promise,
What a wonderful sight that will be!

4 When at last we behold our redeemer,
And his glory unclouded we see,
While as King of all kingdoms he reigneth,
What a wonderful sight that will be!
