We are tra­vel­ing to a bet­ter land—
One by one we’ll all be ga­thered home,
And we’ll trust the Sav­ior’s guid­ing hand:
One by one we’ll all be ga­thered home.

Refrain

Gathering, ga­ther­ing,
One by one we’ll all be ga­thered home;
Gathering, ga­ther­ing,
One by one we’ll all be ga­thered home;

We are draw­ing near­er ev­ery day—
One by one we’ll all be ga­thered home—
To that joy that fad­eth not away:
One by one we’ll all be ga­thered home.

Refrain

There we’ll meet our loved ones gone be­fore—
One by one we’ll all be ga­thered home,
And we’ll dwell with Je­sus ev­er­more:
One by one we’ll all be ga­thered home.

Refrain

Come, my bro­ther, join the hap­py throng—
One by one we’ll all be ga­thered home—
Singing now re­demp­tion’s ho­ly song:
One by one we’ll all be ga­thered home.
