Hymns 5 - Gather Us In текст песни

Gather us in, Thou Love that fillest all;
Gather our rival faiths within Thy fold;
Rend each man???s temple veil, and bid it fall,
That we may know that Thou hast been of old.

Gather us in???we worship only Thee;
In varied names we stretch a common hand;
In diverse forms a common soul we see;
In many ships we seek one spirit land.

Thine is the mystic life great India craves;
Thine is the Parsee???s sin-destroying beam;
Thine is the Buddhist???s rest from tossing waves;
Thine is the empire of vast China???s dream.

Thine is the Roman???s strength without his pride;
Thine is the Greek???s glad world without its graves;
Thine is Judea???s law with love beside,
The truth that censures and the grace that saves.

Some seek a Father in the heav???ns above;
Some ask a human image to adore;
Some crave a spirit vast as life and love;
Within Thy mansions we have all and more.
