Gather Us In - Marty Haugen

Beat of 6/8

Note: Where "light of this" and "sound of our" are 3/8 on all of the verses.

[Verse 1]

D A C G Gm/Bb Dm C G

Here in this place new light is streaming, Now is the darkness vanished away,

D A C G Gm/Bb Dm C Am7 D C/D Gm6/D D

See in this space our fears and our dreamings, Brought here to you in the light of this day.

A C/D D/F# G A A C/G D/F# G A

Gather us in, the lost and forsaken, Gather us in, the blind and the lame;

D A C G Gm/Bb Dm C Am7 D C/D Gm6/D D

Call to us now, and we shall awaken, We shall arise at the sound of our name.

[Verse 2]

D A C G Gm/Bb Dm C G

We are the young, our lives are a myst'ry, we are the old, who yearn for your face,

D A C G Gm/Bb Dm C Am7 D C/D Gm6/D D

We have been sung throughout all of hist'ry, Called to be light to the whole hu-man race.

A C/D D/F# G A A C/G D/F# G A

Gather us in, the rich and the haughty, Gather us in, the proud and the strong;

D A C G Gm/Bb Dm C Am7 D C/D Gm6/D D

Give us a heart, so meek and so lowly, Give us the courage to enter the song.

[Verse 3]

D A C G Gm/Bb Dm C G

Here we will take the wine and the water, Here we will take the bread of new birth,

D A C G Gm/Bb Dm C Am7 D C/D Gm6/D D

Here you shall call your sons and Your daughters, Call us anew to be salt for the earth.

A C/D D/F# G A A C/G D/F# G A

Give us to drink the wine of compassion, Give us to eat the bread that is you;

D A C G Gm/Bb Dm C Am7 D C/D Gm6/D D

Nourish us well, and teach us to fashion Lives that are holy and hearts that are true.

[Verse 4]

D A C G Gm/Bb Dm C G

Not in the dark of buildings confining, Not in some heaven light years away, But

D A C G Gm/Bb Dm C Am7 D C/D Gm6/D D

here in this place the new light is shining, now is the Kingdom, now is the day.

A C/D D/F# G A A C/G D/F# G A

Gather us in and hold us forever, Gather us in and make us Your own;

D A C G Gm/Bb Dm C Am7 D C/D Gm6/D D

Gather us in all peoples together, Fire of love in our flesh and our bone.
