Lyrics

There will be a great reun­ion,
When the trump of God shall sound,
In the fi­nal judg­ment day.
Every na­tion shall be ga­thered
From the sea and from the land,
In the fi­nal judg­ment day.

Refrain

We shall hear the sig­nal trum­pet,
In the fi­nal judg­ment day;
It shall wake the sleep­ing na­tions,
In the final judg­ment day.

When death’s pri­son bars are brok­en,
All the sleep­ing dead shall rise,
In the fi­nal judg­ment day.
Then we’ll see the Lord des­cend­ing
In His glo­ry from the skies,
In the fi­nal judg­ment day.

Refrain

There’ll be shout­ing, there’ll be sing­ing
When the saints shall all arise,
In the fi­nal judg­ment day.
Then to­ge­ther we will hail Him
King Im­ma­nu­el in the skies,
In the final judg­ment day.

Refrain

There will be a great re­un­ion,
Such as earth has ne­ver known,
In the final judg­ment day.
When we meet with pre­cious loved ones
’Round the Fa­ther’s great white throne,
In the fi­nal judg­ment day.

Refrain
