Songs of the Kingdom ‎#141

141. Gathering of the Faithful

1 In Thy name, O blessed Saviour, trusting in Thy grace divine,
With our hearts aglow with love we come today,
Here to greet each other once again and tell of progress made,
In this gath’ring of the faithful on the way.

Refrain:
What a gath’ring,
What a gath’ring
Of the faithful on this heaven-favored day!
What a gath’ring,
What a gath’ring,
What a gath’ring of the faithful on the way!

2 We have come equipped for conquest in the service of our King,
We will help and cheer each other thro’ the day,
As we work for Christ our Master, ‘neath the banner of the Cross,
In this gath’ring of the faithful on the way. [Refrain]

3 Then while loyalty to Christ our King our motto still shall be,
As we follow in His footsteps day by day,
Ever may His blessed Spirit be in all we say and do,
In this gath’ring of the faithful on the way. [Refrain]
