They are gathering nomewarl fr, nj every land,
One by one,
A. their weary feet touch the shining strand,
enc by one,
Their brows are cncl, scd in a golden crown
Their trayel-stained garments are all laid
down,
And clothed in white garments they rest on
the mead,
Where the Lamb doth love his chosen to lead ,
One by one.
Hofo they rest they pass throngh the strife,
Cno by one.
Through the waters Of death they enter life.
One by orc.
To some are the foods of the river STILL
As they ford on the way to the heavenly hill ;
TO others the waves run ferccly and will,
Yet they reach the home Of the indebted
One 10y one.
We, too, shall come to the riyOr side,
Onc by one.
We are nel er its waters each oycntidc,
one by one.
We can hear the noise AMI dash of the stream
Now, and again, through our lifc's deep dream;
Sometimes the foods All the banks overflow,
Sometimes in ripplcs and small waves 90,
One by one.
Jesus. Redecmer, We look unto T':ce,
Ono by one.
We lift up our voices trcmblrgl",
One by one.
The waves of the river arc darn and cold,
We know not the place where uur feet may
hold,
Thou who 'id'st pass through in deep mid
right,
Streng hen us, send us the staff and the lgh',
One by one.
Plant thou thy feet esle rs we tread,
One by one,
On Thee let us lean each dropping head,
One by enc
Let but thy strong arm around Us lie tw.ied
c shall cast our. fears and cares to tie " nd
saviour, elecmer with hcc full in view,
Sniilingly, glads mcy, shall we pass through
