Christ Will Gather in His Own HEINLEIN—Nurnbergisches Gesangbuch, 1676 Christ Will Gather in His Own 1 Christ will gather in His own To the place where He is gone, Where their heart and treasure lie, Where our life is hid on high. 2 Day by day the voice saith, “Come, Enter thine eternal home “; Asking not if we can spare This dear soul it summons there. 3 Had He ask’d us, well we know We should cry, “O spare this blow! “ Yes, with streaming tears should pray, “Lord. we love him, let him stay.”
