nothing but trouble for me,
sometimes you hear me sigh.
It seems that I'm a bagger
where our loved ones have to die.
But I'm longing for a glad reunion
that is waiting for you and I.
I hear my Savior fancy callin'
There's a gathering in the sky
There'll be a great gathering in the sky
When all the God's children get home
We'll join the happy millions
As they sing their round of love for strong
I'm speakin' of a big cat meeting
Where we never shall say goodbye
I'm a -longin' for the day
when I hear my savior say
there's a -gathering in the
One by one we pass through the valley,
our load seems hard to bear
Soon we'll have an old -time revival
where people's not afraid of prayer
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 the cross children get home
Their rounds of love for straw
I'm speaking of a big campaign
Where we never shall say goodbye
When to hear my savior say
There's a gathering in the
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 their round -of
I'm speaking of a big campaign,
where we never shall say good -bye
when I hear my savior say,
There's a gathering in the sky
