Lyrics

We are gathering together unto Him,
We are gathering together unto Him,
Unto Him shall the gathering of the people be,
We are gathering together unto Him.

We are offering together unto Him,
We are offering together unto Him,
Unto Him shall the gathering of the people be,
We are offering together unto Him.

We are singing together unto Him,
We are singing together unto Him,
Unto Him shall the gathering of the people be,
We are singing together unto Him.

We are praying together unto Him,
We are praying together unto Him,
Unto Him shall the gathering of the people be,
We are praying together unto Him.
