Hymns - Thy Children Are Gathering Home - Текст песни

# Long scattered thy children, O Zion, have been,
But now they are gathering home:
The Spirit is calling, they gladly obey,
With songs of rejoicing they come.

 * Refrain:
 Thy children are gathering home,
 With joy they are gathering home;
 From all the divisions in which they were scattered,
 Thy children are gathering home.

# False shepherds divided and scattered the flock,
And hirelings ruled o'er them for gain,
But back to their fold on Mount Zion's fair height
They come to forever remain.
# To unity glorious, rich and complete,
One faith and one body, one Lord,
One way and one Spirit, one hope and one God,
They come at the call of His word.
# Sectarian walls shall no longer divide,
False teachers shall lead them no more;
True pastors shall feed them on heavenly food,
Their sorrows and sighings are o'er
