Gathering Buds
Jesus has taken a beautiful bud, Out of our garden of love, Borne it away to the city of God, Home of the angels above.
Gathering buds, gathering buds, Wonderful care will be giv'n; Jesus is gathering, day after day, Buds for the palace of heav'n.
Full blooming flowers alone will not do, Some must be young and ungrown; So the frail buds He is gathering, too, Beautiful gems of His throne.
Gathering buds, gathering buds, Wonderful care will be giv'n; Jesus is gathering, day after day, Buds for the palace of heav'n.
Fathers and mothers, weep not or be sad, Still on the Savior rely; You shall behold them again, and be glad, Beautiful flowers on high.
Gathering buds, gathering buds, Wonderful care will be giv'n; Jesus is gathering, day after day, Buds for the palace of heav'n.
Blooming in beauty in heaven are they, Blooming for you and for me; Follow the Lord, tho' the city be far, Till our bright blossoms we see.
Gathering buds, gathering buds, Wonderful care will be giv'n; Jesus is gathering, day after day, Buds for the palace of heav'n.
