Gather Us In Gathering Song by Marty Haugen adapt. Rev. Dr. Nori J. Rost

Here in this place new light is streaming, now is the darkness vanished away; see in this place our fears and our dreaming, brought here to all in the light of this day. Verse 1

Gather us in the lost and forsaken, gather us in no two just the same; call to us now, and we shall awaken, we shall arise at the sound of our name. Chorus 1

We are the young, our lives are a myst’ry, we are the old with wisdom and grace; we have been sung throughout all of hist’ry, called to be light to the whole human race. Verse 2

Gather us in the Buddhist and Pagan, Humanist, Atheist join in the throng; gather us in the Theist and Seeking, give us the courage to enter the song. Chorus 2

Not in the dark of buildings confining, not in some heaven light years away; here in this place the new light is shining, now is the moment, now is the day. Verse 3

Gather us in from all tribes and nations, gather us in, no one left alone; gather us in, a great celebration, fire of love in our flesh and our bones. Chorus 3
