What a scene of unimaginable grandeur that will be, when at last all nations are gathered to His Feet! That will include representatives from all the European States, from Iceland in the far North to Greece in the South, and from Portugal in the West to hidden saints of God in Soviet Russia in the East.

There will be many from Algeria, Morocco, and the Atlas mountains; from Egypt and the Nile Valley; from the sandy deserts and the mountains of the Sahara; from the great lakes in Central Africa, from the banks of the Niger, the Calabar, the Congo, and the Zambesi rivers; and from the uplands of South Africa.

There will be gathered to Christ many from Palestine, Transjordan, and Arabia; India will contribute her millions; and even from closed lands like Nepal, Sikkim, and Tibet, Christ will gather His own.

From the Islands in the Dutch East Indies they will come —Java, Sumatra, Bali, Celebes, Lombok, Soembawa, Borneo, and the rest, and will be gathered to the feet of the Redeemer.

From the teeming millions of Central Asia, from China, Japan, Korea, Manchukuo, and Mongolia, there will be an immense home-going to the Savior.

From the myriad Islands of the Pacific, the peoples of Polynesia and Melanesia will be gathered to the Lord who redeemed them.

From Australia and New Zealand there will be multitudes who will join in the glad song of praise.

From every republic of Central, South, and North America, and from the West Indies Islands—Cuba, Haiti, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, and the Lesser Antilles, they will come.

From the far-off forests and lakes of Canada there will be a similar home-going.

Whether the tongues be those of the white race, or of the red, or of the black, the gathering to Christ will be overwhelmingly splendid.

From earth’s wide bounds, from ocean’s farthest coast, Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host, Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, “Hallelujah!”

BIBLE SOCIETY RECORD

I hear ten thousand voices singing Their praises to the Lord on high; Far distant shores and hills are ringing With anthems of their nation’s joy: Praise ye the Lord! for He hath given To lands in darkness hid, His light, As morning rays light up the heaven, His word has chased away our night.

Hark! Hark! a louder sound is booming O’er heaven and earth, o’er land and sea; The angel’s trump proclaims His coming— Our day of endless Jubilee.

Hail to Thee, Lord! Thy people praise Thee; In every land Thy Name we sing; On heaven’s eternal throne upraise Thee, Take Thou Thy power, Thou glorious King!
