Product Description

Gather Us In is an excerpt from "Undelivered", a cantata written about the speech that John F. Kennedy never gaev in Dallas in November, 1963. In this piece for chorus and piano, Suzanne Calvin adapted this text from the Oxford Book of Prayer originally by G.D. Matheson (1842-1906). The work is suitable for both religious services and concert performances.

Gather us in, Thou love that fillest all;

Gather our rival faiths within thy fold.

Rend each mans temple-veil and bid it fall,

That we may know that Thou hast been of old;

Gather us in.

Gather us in: we worship only Thee;

In varied names we stretch a common hand;

In diverse forms a common soul we see;

In many ships we seek one spirit-land;

Gather us in.

Each one sees one colour of thy rainbow-light,

Each looks upon one tint and calls it heaven;

Thou art the fullness of our partial sight;

We are not perfect till we find the seven;

Gather us in.
