Crowning Day, No. 6 ‎#138

138. By and By, Gather Us All

1 When scatter’d lonely we wander here,
Good Shepherd, we love Thy call;
O gather us into the upper fold,
By and by gather us all.

Refrain:
By and by, by and by,
by and by gather us all,
O gather us into the upper fold,
By and by, gather us all.

2 We wander thro’ pastures of good and ill,
Yet ever our hearts rejoice;
If we thro’ the dangers or dark may hear,
Sweetly, our Leader’s kind voice. [Refrain]

3 Dear Saviour, when comes our last eventide,
Thy beautiful gates unfold;
O gather us all with the lov’d and true,
Into the heavenly fold. [Refrain]
