Author: George Matheson (1842-1906) Hymnal: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise #714 (2008) Meter: 10.10.10.10.4 Lyrics: 1 Gather us in, thou Love that fillest all!
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. Topics: The Holy Spirit The Church Celebrates - National Life; Church unity and ecumenism; Communion of Saints; Unity of Humanity Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:12 Languages: English Tune Title: GATHER US IN
Gather us in, thou Love that fillest all!
