79. Coming to Gather Us Home

1 Jesus is coming again, by and by,
Coming his saints to reward;
Coming to gather the faithful on high,
Into the home of their Lord.

Chorus:
Coming, coming,
Yes, the Redeemer is coming,
Coming, coming,
Coming to gather us home.

2 Will you be ready and robed when he comes,
Robed in the garments of white;
Ready to enter yon beautiful home,
Heaven's fair mansions of light? [Chorus]

3 When he shall gather his jewels, his own,
Into the kingdom above;
Will you be numbered with those at the throne,
Chanting the anthems of love? [Chorus]
