RAPTURE

1.I am looking for the dawning when the shadows flee away,
   And our Lord shall come in glory then to catch His Bride away,
  Oh! my heart is filled with rapture as I wait, and Watch, and pray,
   For our Lord is coming back to earth again.

        CHORUS

        What a gathering, what a gathering in the air,
        Changed in His own likeness, glorious and fair;
        What a gathering, what a gathering, when we Meet Him in the air,
        Hallelujah! When our Jesus comes again.

2.When the sealing work is finished and the Bride is Clothed in white,
   Then the ransomed of the Lord shall sing from Zion’s Mountain height,
   In the glorious reign of Jesus where there’s love Without alloy
   When our Jesus come back to earth again.

3.Oh, our hearts will thrill with rapture as we see those mansions fair,
   And the patriarchs and the prophets and the loved ones gathered there;
   We shall see His beauty, and behold the land that is afar,
   When our Jesus shall come back to earth again.

4.Oh! be ready for His coming, soon you’ll hear the Midnight cry,
   If you’re consecration slackens then the Lord will pass You by,
  Oh! the door forever will be closed no more to enter in
  When our Jesus shall come back to our earth again.

5.Where the glory of our God doeth shine, in City, crystal fair,
   Sin and sorrow, pain and sickness, they can never enter there,
   We shall have the marriage supper in the palace of the King
   And with Jesus shall come to earth again.
