1. Up to the beautiful Giver of life,--
Gathering home! gathering home!
Up to the dwelling where cometh no strife,
The dear ones are gathering home.

2. Up to the city where falleth no night,--
Gathering home! gathering home!
Up where the Saviour’s own face is the light,
The dear ones are gathering home. 

3. Up to the beautiful mansions above,--
Gathering home! gathering home!
Safe in the arms of his infinite love,
The dear ones are gathering home.
