Gather us In

Gather us In

• 1. Here in this place, new light is streaming,
  Now is the darkness vanished away. See, in this
  space, our fears and our dreamings, Brought here
  to you in the light of this day. Gather us in -
  the lost and forsaken, Gather us in - the blind
  and the lame. Call to us now, and we shall
  awaken, We shall arise at the sound of our name.

Gather us In

• 2. We are the young - our lives are a mystery,
  We are the old - who yearn for your face. We
  have been sung throughout all of history, Called
  to be light to the whole human race. Gather us
  in - the rich and the haughty, Gather us in -
  the proud and the strong. Give us a heart so
  meek and so lowly, Give us the courage to enter
  the song.
