<p>Christ will gather in His own<br>
To the place where He is gone,<br>
Where their heart and treasure lie,<br>
Where our life is hid on high.</p>
<p>Day by day the voice saith, &#8220;Come,<br>
Enter thine eternal home&#8221;;<br>
Asking not if we can spare<br>
This dear soul it summons there.</p>
<p>Had He asked us, well we know<br>
We should cry, &#8220;O spare this blow!&#8221;<br>
Yes, with streaming tears should pray,<br>
&#8220;Lord, we love <em>him</em>, let <em>him</em> stay.&#8221;<br>
[substitute <em>her</em> if appropriate]</p>
<p>But the Lord doth naught amiss,<br>
And, since He hath ordered this,<br>
We have naught to do but still<br>
Rest in silence on His will.</p>
<p>Many a heart no longer here,<br>
Ah! was all too inly dear,<br>
Yet, O Love, &#8217;tis Thou dost call,<br>
Thou wilt be our All in all.</p>
