Christ will Gather His Own
Christ will gather in His own
To the place where He is gone,
Where their heart and treasure lie,
Where our
life is hid on high.
Day by day the voice saith, “Come,
Enter thine eternal home”;
Asking not if we can
spare
This dear soul it summons there.
Had He asked us, well we know
We should cry, “O spare this
blow!”
Yes, with streaming tears should pray,
“Lord, we love him, let him stay.”
[substitute her if appropriate]
But the Lord doth naught amiss,
And, since He hath ordered this,
We have naught to do but still
Rest in silence on His
will.
Many a heart no longer here,
Ah! was all too inly dear,
Yet, O Love, ’tis Thou dost call,
Thou
wilt be our All in all.
