Author: T. C. O'K Hymnal: Joy to the World #31 (1879) First Line: "One by one," the bonds are severed Refrain First Line: Gath'ring home, gath'ring home Lyrics: 1 "One by one" the bonds are severed,
Binding hearts together here;
"One by one," new ties are added
To the land that knows no tear.
Chorus:
Gath'ring home, gath'ring home,
"One by one," we're gathering home;
Soon we'll all be gathered home,
Gathered "one by one."
Gath'ring home, gath'ring home,
"One by one," we're gathering home;
Soon we'll all be gathered home,
Gathered "one by one."
2 "One by one," we cease our toiling
For the Master here below;
By the angel bauds attended
To our endless rest we go. [Chorus]
3 "One by one," we're gath'ring yonder,
Out of every clime and land,
"One by one," we're crossing over,
To the distant heavenly strand. [Chorus]
4 "One by one," the Savior calls us
In his perfect bliss to share;
May we for the call be ready
O, may none be missing there! [Chorus]
