Tom: Dm
D A C G Gm/Bb Dm C G
Here in this place new light is streaming, Now is the darkness vanished away,
D A C G Gm/Bb Dm C Am7 D C/D Gm6/D D
See in this space our fears and our dreamings, Brought here to you in the light of this day.
A C/D D/F# G A A C/G D/F# G A
Gather us in, the lost and forsaken, Gather us in, the blind and the lame;
D A C G Gm/Bb Dm C Am7 D C/D Gm6/D D
Call to us now, and we shall awaken, We shall arise at the sound of our name.
[Verse 2]
D A C G Gm/Bb Dm C G
We are the young, our lives are a myst'ry, we are the old, who yearn for your face,
D A C G Gm/Bb Dm C Am7 D C/D Gm6/D D
We have been sung throughout all of hist'ry, Called to be light to the whole hu-man race.
A C/D D/F# G A A C/G D/F# G A
Gather us in, the rich and the haughty, Gather us in, the proud and the strong;
D A C G Gm/Bb Dm C Am7 D C/D Gm6/D D
Give us a heart, so meek and so lowly, Give us the courage to enter the song.
[Verse 3]
D A C G Gm/Bb Dm C G
Here we will take the wine and the water, Here we will take the bread of new birth,
D A C G Gm/Bb Dm C Am7 D C/D Gm6/D D
Here you shall call your sons and Your daughters, Call us anew to be salt for the earth.
A C/D D/F# G A A C/G D/F# G A
Give us to drink the wine of compassion, Give us to eat the bread that is you;
D A C G Gm/Bb Dm C Am7 D C/D Gm6/D D
Nourish us well, and teach us to fashion Lives that are holy and hearts that are true.
[Verse 4]
D A C G Gm/Bb Dm C G
Not in the dark of buildings confining, Not in some heaven light years away, But
D A C G Gm/Bb Dm C Am7 D C/D Gm6/D D
here in this place the new light is shining, now is the Kingdom, now is the day.
A C/D D/F# G A A C/G D/F# G A
Gather us in and hold us forever, Gather us in and make us Your own;
D A C G Gm/Bb Dm C Am7 D C/D Gm6/D D
Gather us in all peoples together, Fire of love in our flesh and our bone.
