GATHERING CRY.

[Tune—“Battle Cry of Freedom.”]
We will rally round the standard, we'll gather once again, Believing the gospel of the kingdom; We'll gather from the hillside, we'll gather from the plain, Believing the gospel of the kingdom.
Chorus—*
The kingdom forever! All hail the glorious Away with all error, believe the truth and sing, Whilst we gather round the standard, gathered once again Hearing the gospel of the kingdom.
We are gathering to the call from the East and from the West, Believing the gospel of the kingdom. We will help to swell the numbers, with our Bibles in our hands, Believing the gospel of the kingdom. Cho.
We will welcome to our numbers the honest, true, and brave, Believing the gospel of the kingdom; And although we may be poor, we shall never be afraid, Believing the gospel of the kingdom. Cho.
We are joining in the call, in the East and in the West, Believing the gospel of the kingdom; Offering life to the world, in the land of heavenly rest, Believing this gospel of the kingdom. Cho.
Sinners, hear the joyful news of the advent of our King, Believing this gospel of the kingdom; Repent and reform, and with us join and sing Of the glory of the gospel of the kingdom. Cho.
The nations of the world, by the word of God foretold, Show signs of the coming of his kingdom; But they soon will give their place to the seed of royal race, Who believe the gospel of the kingdom. Cho.
Come, give us your hand, and give to God your heart, And we will wait for the coming of the kingdom; Come join our little band and we never more will part, But will reign with the Saviour in his kingdom. Cho.
Farewell, careless sinner, for you we feel alarmed! O, come and be safe in Jesus' kingdom; For he will shortly come, and the earth and all things burn, Then the saints will all be safe in Jesus' kingdom. Cho.
Be faithful, fellow soldier, our work is almost done, Preaching the gospel of the kingdom; Then a crown of life we'll wear when we are gathered home, To ever praise the Lord in his kingdom. Cho.
