90. Gathering Home

1 Up to the bountiful Giver of life,
Gathering home! gathering home!
Up to the dwelling where cometh no strife,
The dear ones are gathering home!

Refrain:
Gathering home,
Gathering home,
Never to sorrow more, never to roam;
Gathering home,
Gathering home,
God's children are gathering home.

2 Up to the city where falleth no night,
Gathering home! gathering home!
Up where the Savior's own face is the light,
The dear ones are gathering home! [Refrain]

3 Up to the bountiful mansions above,
Gathering home! gathering home!
Safe in the arms of his infinite love,
The dear ones are gathering home! [Refrain]
