| 1. Gather them in,
for there yet is room
At the feast that the
King has spread;
Oh gather them in,
let His house be filled,
And the hungry and poor be fed.
Refrain.
Out in the highway,
out in the by-way,
Out in the dark paths of sin,
Go forth!
Go forth with a loving heart,
And gather the wand’rers in.
2. Gather them in,
for there yet is room,
But our hearts—
how they throb with vain,
To think of the many
who slight the call,
That may never be heard again.
Refrain.
Out in the highway,
out in the by-way,
Out in the dark paths of sin,
Go forth!
Go forth with a loving heart,
And gather the wand’rers in.
3. Gather them in,
for there yet is room,
‘Tis a message from God above;
Oh gather them into
the fold of grace,
And the arms of the Saviour’s love.
Refrain.
Out in the highway,
out in the by-way,
Out in the dark paths of sin,
Go forth!
Go forth with a loving heart,
And gather the wand’rers in.
