1. How great is the gathering encircling MountZion,
To sing of His love over there,
All nations and kindreds to greet Him in glory,
Oh! Who can this story declare?
CHORUS
What a great gathering, meeting up there!
What a great gathering, meeting up there!
They sing a new song, unique and sublime,
With rapture it thrills, through ages of time.
2. The God of all ages, the Father of mercy,
Like shepherd He fosters each one;
The music of Heav’n echoes now with His praises,
Each sings of the battle that’s won.
3. They hunger nor thirst as they did once as mortals,
The life-giving waters are there;
Resplendent their grandeur in crystal clear mansions,
What glories of Heav’n they declare.
4. The Lamb that was once slain is joy of all heaven,
For He is the light over there,
His wisdom and power through ages eternal,
The saints in His Kingdom do share.
5. In Kingdom of glory is service with gladness,
Where servant of servant enthroned,
There’s nought to discord, in the regions supernal,
Where Satan and sin are dethroned.
