Some have crossed
the swelling flood,
Some are now at home with God,
Well beyond the reach of care,
Free from every hurtful snare;
Gone through death to glory bright,
Present with the Lord in light;
But ere perfect joy begin,
More must yet be gathered in.
Saved from death’s eternal loss
By the power of Jesus’ cross;
From their sorrow, shame, and sin,
More must yet be gathered in.
Some of every land and race,
Souls redeemed by Jesus’ grace,
Now are in the Shepherd’s fold,
Bought with neither gems nor gold;
Saved from endless death and shame,
Saved to grace the Saviour’s name;
Other souls are still to win—
More must yet be gathered in.
Saved from death’s eternal loss
By the power of Jesus’ cross;
From their sorrow, shame, and sin,
More must yet be gathered in.
Some have drifted far from God,
Trampling on the Saviour’s blood,
By the worldling’s glitter caught,
Selling life and soul for naught;
Fashion’s form for every hour,
Christian name without the power;
Dead in trespasses and sin—
Oh, that they were gathered in!
Saved from death’s eternal loss
By the power of Jesus’ cross;
From their sorrow, shame, and sin,
More must yet be gathered in.
Some are sunk in vice and shame,
Heedless of the Saviour’s name;
Some, in superstition’s sway,
Hate the light of Gospel-day;
Thou thy testimony give—
They may yet believe and live;
For, from ‘mong the ranks of sin,
More must yet be gathered in.
Saved from death’s eternal loss
By the power of Jesus’ cross;
From their sorrow, shame, and sin,
More must yet be gathered in.
