Gather our rival faiths within thy fold! Rend all our temple veils and bid them fall, that we may know that thou hast been of old; gather us in. 2 Gather us in: we worship only thee; in varied names we stretch a common hand; in diverse forms a common soul we see; in many ships we seek one spirit-land; gather us in. 3 Each sees one colour of thy rainbow light; each looks upon one tint and calls it heaven; thou art the fullness of our partial sight; we are not perfect till we find the seven; gather us in. 4 Some seek a Father in the heavens above, some ask a human image to adore, some crave a spirit vast as life and love; within thy mansions we have all and more; gather us in.

Psalm 124

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: National deliverance First Line: Had not the Lord, may Isr'el say Lyrics: Had not the Lord, may Isr'el say, Had not the Lord maintained our side, When men, to make our lives a prey, Rose like the swelling of the tide; The swelling tide had stopped our breath, So fiercely did the waters roll, We had been swallowed deep in death; Proud waters had o'erwhelmed our soul. We leap for joy, we shout and sing, Who just escaped the fatal stroke; So flies the bird with cheerful wing, When once the fowler's snare is broke. For ever blessed be the Lord, Who broke the fowler's cursed snare, Who saved us from the murd'ring sword, And made our lives and souls his care. Our help is in Jehovah's name, Who formed the earth and built the skies: He that upholds that wondrous frame Guards his own church with watchful eyes. Scripture: Psalm 124
