A sacred hymn about the gathering of Israel on both sides of the veil. Music by Kevin G. Pace. Text by Mark R. Fotheringham.

YouTube video: The Gathering

See text below:

The path that leads to covenant is open to mankind,

But people often need a friend, the path to help them find.

An invitation to the truth will serve each person well,

To join the work of gathering on both sides of the veil.

Oh may I seek my neighbors’ good by pointing them to God,

And see the joy that comes to those who grasp the iron rod.

The missionary zeal I feel is not some holy grail,

But simple service to each friend on both sides of the veil.

Through temple doors we living go, with God to there commune

And save the spirits of our dead to whom our hearts are tuned.

By proxy, temple covenants release their souls from jail

And link the lives of all the world on both sides of the veil.

To do the work of gathering needs little more than love

And listening to heaven's voice, the Spirit from above.

Expand my heart to care for all that I may never fail

To reach the ones who wait for me on both sides of the veil.

The Gathering, a sacred hymn
