G             D         G
Long upon the mountains weary,

D7 G
Have the scattered flocks been torn;

D G
Dark the dessert paths, and dreary;

D7 G
Grievous trials have they borne.

G C G
Now the gathering call is sounding,

C G
Solemn in its warning voice;

D G
Union, faith, and love, a-bounding,

D7 G
Bid the little flock re-joice.
[[Full Lyrics]] [Verse 1] Long upon the mountains weary, Have the scattered flocks been torn; Dark the dessert paths, and dreary; Grievous trials have they borne. Now the gathering call is sounding, Solemn in its warning voice; Union, faith, and love, abounding, Bid the little flock rejoice. [Verse 2] Now the light of truth they’re seeking, In its onward track pursue; All the ten commandments keeping, They are holy, just, and true. On the words of lire they’re feeding, Precious to their taste so sweet; All their Master’s percepts heeding, Bowing humbly to His feet. [Verse 3] In that light of light and beauty, In that golden city fair, Soon its pearly gates they’ll enter, And of all its glories share. There, divine the soul’s expansions; Free from sin, and death, and pain; Tear will never dim those mansions Where the souls immortal reign. [Verse 4] Soon He comes! With clouds descending; All His saints, entombed arise; The redeemed, in anthems blending, Shout their vict’ry thro’ the skies. O, we long for Thine appearing; Come, O Savior, quickly come! Blessed hope! Our spirits cheering, Take thy ransomed children home.
