"Gather My saints together unto Me, those that have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.... Offer unto God thanksgiving.... And call upon Me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify Me" (Psalm 50:5,15). "And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when Thou comest into Thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto Him, verily I say unto thee, today Thou shalt be with Me in paradise" (Luke 23:42,43).
Give thanks to the Lord for His love that endured
To gather His people together!
The Lamb that was slain by His grace has secured
Our place in His presence forever.
That thief who cried out to the Lord Jesus Christ
Shall surely remember that day
When trouble pursued him, but mercy sufficed
To wash his transgressions away!
How great was the mercy which opened his eyes
To see in the Savior such grace
That granted forgiveness, secured paradise,
And gathered him in His embrace!
O Lord, we are gathered to You just the same
As each one You rescued from hell,
For just as the thief did, we called on Your name
And found our deliverance as well!
