Shall we gather home to Zion

1 Shall we gather home to Zion;
Will our wand'rings soon be o'er?
Shall we cease our tears and sighing;
Shall we rest forevermore?
Will Messiah come to save us
From the power of the foe?
Will he come, and will he have us
His salvation fully know?
Yes, we'll gather home to Zion,
Our beautiful, our beautiful Zion!
Gather with the saints home to Zion,
And be saved in the Kingdom of God.

2 Will he come as Judah's Lion;
Will the wicked he destroy?
Will he take us home to Zion,
Filling us with peace and joy?
Shall we live with him forever;
Shall we see him as he is?
Shall we from him part? No, never;
He will call each dear one his.
Yes, we'll gather home to Zion,
Our beautiful, our beautiful Zion!
Gather with the saints home to Zion,
And be saved in the Kingdom of God.

3 Shall we rest with our Redeemer
In the Paradise of God?
Let us walk with patience ever
In the path our Savior trod.
Let us be no longer sleeping,
For the day is near at hand;
Let us each our watch be keeping,
As a firm, united band.
Then we'll dwell with saints in Zion,
Our beautiful, our beautiful Zion!
Happy with the saints home in Zion,
And rejoice in the Kingdom of God.
