1 Glorious gath'ring of the ransomed!
Saints redeem'd and clothed in white!
O what grace that I, a rebel,
Should rejoice with you in light!

Refrain:
What a gath'ring
What a gath'ring!
O how lovely is the sight!
What a gath'ring
What a gath'ring!
O how lovely is the sight!

2 Glorious gath'ring of the ransomed!
Sin forever put away!
How they praise their great Redeemer!
How they sing and preach and pray!

Refrain:
What a season!
What a season!
Blessed blessed gospel day!
What a season!
What a season!
Blessed blessed gospel day!

3 Glorious gath'ring of the ransomed!
Jesus standing them among,
Ev'ry heart in love inspiring
Unto ceaseless pray'r and song!

Refrain:
Shout ye ransomed!
Shout ye ransomed!
Roll the praise of God along!
Shout ye ransomed!
Shout ye ransomed!
Roll the praise of God along!

What a gath'ring!
What a gath'ring!
O how lovely is the sight!
What a gath'ring!
What a gath'ring!
O how lovely is the sight!
