Gather Us In, Thou Love That Fillest All (EN 2903)

EN 2903 Gather Us In, Thou Love That Fillest All

Matt.8.11

Versi Version 1

1

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.

2

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.

3

Each sees one color of Thy rainbow light,

Each looks upon one tint and calls it heaven;

Thou art the fullness of our partial sight;

We are not perfect till we find the seven.

4

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.

5

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.

6

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.
