Gathering Home (Showalter)

One by one our friends are go­ing on be­fore

Going on be­fore

go­ing on be­fore

Up to man­sions that are ev­er bright and fair

O say

shall we meet them up there?

Gathering home­ward one by one

When their work on earth is done

To those man­sions bright and fair;

O say

shall we meet them up there?

One by one they ga­ther on the gold­en shore

Gather on the shore

ga­ther on the shore

Where they nev­er­more shall know a grief or care

O say

shall we meet them up there?

One by one they see the bless­èd Sav­ior’s face

See Him face to face

see Him face to face

And for­ev­er­more His glo­ry they will share

O say

shall we meet them up there?

One by one they join to sing the glad new song

Sing the glad new song

sing the glad new song;

Robes of right­eous­ness they ev­er­more shall wear

O say

shall we meet them up there?
