Representative Text

1 There will come a blessed morning, shadows then will disappear,
And the heart be free from sorrow and from sin;
It will be a wondrous gath’ring from the nations far and near,
When the ranks of the saved march in.

Refrain:
When the ranks of the saved thro’ the gates march in,
When the ranks of the saved march in;
Kept by his redeeming grace,
I shall see the Savior’s face
When the ranks of the saved march in.

2 Soon will Jesus call his children to be with him over there,
Soon a crown of life the ransomed soul shall win;
There’ll be shouting and rejoicing, there’ll be raiment white and fair,
When the ranks of the saved march in. [Refrain]

3 Soon the trump of God shall echo o’er the mountain and the plain,
Then the gath’ring from the nations shall begin;
Ev’ry heart shall then in rapture tell of Jesus’ love again,
When the ranks of the saved march in. [Refrain]
