We will Gather All Our Family
Submitted Hymn Texts, Submitted Music (1998-2006)
We will gather all our family,
As if gath’ring at Thy feet,
And together grow to know Thee
For Thy Holy word we’ll read.
As we listen to Thy teachings
In the quiet of our homes,
May we feel the whispered reachings
Of Thy spirit touch our souls.
Every doctrine holds a duty;
Every truth defines a task.
Wilt thou strengthen us to study
In our homes we humble ask.
May the doctrine of the kingdom
Bless our souls with light and peace.
Fill our hearts with understanding,
May the love we feel increase
Free our homes of each contention,
Free our lives of each despair;
Free our minds and hearts to listen
In our pond’ring, in our prayer.
Every doctrine holds a duty;
Every truth defines a task.
Wilt Thou strengthen us to study
In our homes we humble ask.
Then, as daily we press forward,
Working, learning, serving here,
May we hold Thy Name, we’ve honored
In our cov’nnts, always dear.
May the power of Thy doctrine
Wield a power in our lives,
And become a living fountain,
As our hearts to Thee arise.
Every doctrine holds a duty;
Every truth defines a task.
Wilt Thou strengthen us to study
In our homes we humbly ask.
