When Jesus Shall Gather the Nations
When Jesus shall gather the nations, Before Him at last to appear, Then, O, how shall we stand in the judgment, When summoned our sentence to hear?
He will gather the wheat in His garner, But the chaff will He scatter away; Then, O, how shall we stand at the judgment, On the great resurrection day?
Shall we hear from the lips of the Savior The words, "Faithful servant, well done!" Or trembling with fear and with anguish, Be banished away from His throne?
He will smile when He looks on His children, And sees on the ransomed His seal; He will clothe them with heavenly beauty As low at His footstool they kneel.
Then let us be watching and waiting, Our lamps burning steady and bright; When the Bridegroom shall call to the wedding, Our spirits made ready for flight.
Thus living with hearts fixed on heaven, In patience we wait for the time, When the days of our pilgrimage ended, We'll rest in His presence divine.
