12969. One By One

1 We are traveling to a better land—
One by one we’ll all be gathered home,
And we’ll trust the Savior’s guiding hand:
One by one we’ll all be gathered home.

Refrain:
Gathering, gathering,
One by one we’ll all be gathered home;
Gathering, gathering,
One by one we’ll all be gathered home;

2 We are drawing nearer every day—
One by one we’ll all be gathered home—
To that joy that fadeth not away:
One by one we’ll all be gathered home. [Refrain]

3 There we’ll meet our loved ones gone before—
One by one we’ll all be gathered home,
And we’ll dwell with Jesus evermore:
One by one we’ll all be gathered home. [Refrain]

4 Come, my brother, join the happy throng—
One by one we’ll all be gathered home—
Singing now redemption’s holy song:
One by one we’ll all be gathered home. [Refrain]
