I bring it, Saviour now to thee, That fixed and faithful it may be, I bring it, Saviour now to thee, That fixed and faithful it may be. 3 My life I bring to thee, I would not be my own; O, Saviour, let me be Thine, ever thine, alone.

Chorus: Gath'ring home, gath'ring home, Crossing the river one by one; Gath'ring home, gath'ring home; Yes, one by one. 2 Ere resting they pass thro' the toil and strife, One by one, one by one; Thro' waters of death ere they enter life; Yes, one by one. To come are the floods of the river still, While wending their way to the heav'nly hill, To others the waves o'erflow fiercely and wild, But rest will be giv'n the undefiled. [Chorus] 3 And we, too, shall come to the riverside, One by one, one by one; We're nearer its waters each eventide: Yes, one by one. We hear the great roar of death's chilly stream, Ever and anon thro' life's fev'rish dream, But Jesus will point out the bright, silv'ry strand, And lead us thro' storms to peaceful land.
