A Gathering In The Sky

(album: The Bluegrass Story - 1964)

There'll be a great gathering in the sky when all of God's children get home
We'll join the happy millions as they sing there around the great white throne
I'm speaking of a big camp meeting where we never shall say goodbye
I'm longing for the day when I hear my Saviour say there's a gathering in the sky

One by one we pass through the valley den our load seems hard to bear
But I'm going to a great reunion where people's not afraid of prayer
There'll be a lot of old time singing somewhere up there on high
It seems that I can hear them saying there's a gathering in the sky

There'll be a great gathering in the sky when all of God's children get home
We'll join the happy millions as they sing there around the great white throne
I'm speaking of a big camp meeting where we never shall say goodbye
I'm longing for the day when I hear my Saviour say there's a gathering in the sky
