One by One.

They are gathering homeward from every land,
One by one.
As their weary feet touch the shining strand,
One by one,
Their brows are encircled in golden crown,
Their traveLstained garments all laid down,
And clothed in white raiment they rest on the mead
Where the Lamb loyeth his children to lead,
One by one.
Before they rest they pass through the strife.
One by one;
Through the waters of death they enter life.
One by one;
To some are the floods of the river still,
As they ford on their way to the heavenly hill:
To others the waves run 6ercely wild,
Yet all reach the home of the undefiled,
One by one.
We, too, shall come to that river side,
We are nearer its waters each eventide,
One by one.
We can hear the noise and dash of the stream,
Now and again through our liie's deep dream;
Sometimes the floods all its banks o'erflow,
sometimes IN TiPples the small waves go,
One BY one.
Jesus, Redeemer, we look 10 Thee,
We Ift up our voices trembngly,
One by one.
The waves OF the river are dark and cold
We know not the spot where nur feet may hold
Thou who dldst pass through in deep midnight,
Strene then us, send US Thy staff and Thy light,
One by one.
Plant Thou Thy feet beside as we tread,
One by one;
On Thee let US lean each dropping head,
One by one.
Let but Thy strong arm around US be twined,
we shall cast all our cares and fears 10 the wind.
Saviour, Redeemer, be Thou in full view,
SmIlingly, gladsomely shall we pass through,
One by one.
