“The Gathering,” Ensign, Oct. 2000, 7
The Gathering
“The noise of the multitude in the
mountains like as of a great people,
a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms
of nations gathered together, the
Lord of Hosts mustereth the hosts
of the battle” (2 Ne. 23:4).
What a sunrise day!
Diffusion of the gray.
Grand unconfused
gathering now due
for royal review.
They come,
holding high every banner
and soaring color of experience,
all pushing for
the apex.
They come,
unfurling finally highest hopes,
waving widely all known noble dreams.
Such gung-ho intent so
gustily shown!
Last dust of old
allegiances is blown
easily away
in bracing,
staying breeze
of truth.
