Tune: | [Scattered and lost have My people long been] |
Composer: | Charles P. Jones |
1 Scattered and lost have My people long been.
Gather My saints unto Me:
Long have they wandered, weak captives to sin.
Gather My saints unto Me.
Refrain:
Gather My saints unto Me.
Gather My saints unto Me;
Bid them to come with a sacrifice free.
Gather My saints unto Me.
2 Gather them out from the mad haunts of shame.
Gather My saints unto Me;
Gather them unto the pow'r of My name.
Gather My saints unto Me. [Refrain]
3 Bringing them back from the false to the true.
Gather My saints unto Me;
Back to the life of My love ever new.
Gather My saints unto Me. [Refrain]
4 Gather them into the holiness fold.
Gather My saints unto Me;
Where they may praise Me in pow'r, as of old.
Gather My saints unto Me. [Refrain]
5 Gather them in at the cost of your tears.
Gather My saints unto Me;
Gather them in by your sermons, and pray'rs.
Gather My saints unto Me. [Refrain]
6 Gather them in, I'll repay you some day.
Gather My saints unto Me;
Back to the way, to the holy highway.
Gather My saints unto Me. [Refrain]
