Then shall the King say unto them on His right hand,
Matthew 25:34Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
Words & Music: John B. Vaughan, in Gospel Songs and Hymns No. 1, edited by George B. Holsinger (Mount Morris, Illinois: Brethren Publishing House, 1898), number 87 (🔊 pdf nwc).
If you know where to get a better photo of Vaughan,
My brother, awake, and sing the sweet story,
Soon the day of reunion will come;
Then oh, what a wonderful singing in glory,
When all redeemed singers get home.
Refrain
Then, oh, what a wonderful, wonderful singing,
When all redeemed singers get home;
Reunion, reunion, thro’ ages still ringing,
When all redeemed singers get home.
No mortal hath e’er conceived of its beauty,
That awaits the redeemed ones at home;
Be sure, my dear brother, you live up to duty,
For soon our Redeemer will come.
Refrain
Keep working and sing, press onward, my brother,
Till the Savior shall bid you to come;
How sweet it will be then to meet with each other,
When all redeemed singers get home.
Refrain
