21. Gathered Home

1 We are trav’ling to a better land,
One by one we’ll all be gathered home,
And we’ll trust the Saviour’s guiding hand,
One by one we’ll all be gathered home.

Refrain:
Gath’ring,
Gath’ring,
One by one we’ll all be gathered home;
Gath’ring,
Gath’ring,
One by one we’ll all be gathered home.

2 We are drawing nearer ev’ry 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 lov’d 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]
