Gather Us In

[@heymorbeeus]

Wow, I always loved this song. I always felt a great joy when we sang it at Mass. Tyvm for sharing this gift. God Bless 🕊⛪🕊

[@rickandlinda9250]

We sang this song yesterday during our district United Women of Faith meeting. I love it. The words and melody touch your soul.

[@stevenwesleymiller7730]

It hits every single thing that I pray for. Mostly directly, and some indirectly. I needed to hear this, today.

[@SallyHartman-z8l]

My word for the year! Gather!

[@mkl62]

I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. Today (February 9, Epiphany 5), we opened worship with this hymn. It is #532 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship.

[@JoJoAnne]

[@wallaceplummer7991]

We sing this at my Tuesday bible study at the local Peter Maurin Center(Akron.Ohio). A truly beautiful Catholic hymn.

[@FW-jq1ox]

@estherjong9580 - who was working for a catholic church. When God calls to gather us, do we think he'll care about protestant vs catholic? I certainly hope our creator isn't that petty.

[@keithpeterson5127]

Since we are being parochial ,Marty Haugen is a Lutheran writing for the catholic(universal) church. Most of Marty Haugen hymns are in every Lutheran hymnal.

[@annalingasa4674]

so heartwarming and uplifting...! thank you Marty Haugen for your gift of music!

[@TheEmperorBubbles]

Beautiful song.

[@klschmidt]

I first learned this song during a Walk to Emmaus. Brings back lovely memories.

[@islesofshoals3551]

I've never heard it done better. Thank you

[@theodoretekkers]

The instrumentals sound amazing!

[@SteveBuchanan1447]

Thank you for posting these mysteries of the Holy Rosary. I enjoy viewing daily to say my Rosary. I use to go on an online site to do so but, it has so many glitches and that brought me here to You Tube and your postings. Again, thanks.

[@dwellyn]

How wonderful. It was moving and beautiful. Thank you for posting it.

[@treiterschijf]

Came here from the BBC Daily Service of 3 March 2020. Incredible haunting tune from 1982. The piece is sometimes known by its alternative name (and first line) "Here in this place, new light is streaming". It also has similarities with the equally haunting true story of the "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" a 1977 classic by Gordon Lightfoot, and to a lesser degree "My Man Mountain" recorded by Bow Wow Wow in 1983. Whatever were its influences, this is a gem and we're glad to have discovered it. The host of comments already speaks for itself. Thanks DecemberSnow1231 for making this available here.

[@joshuaecht]

It actually reminds me a little bit of Goodbye Yellow Road (Elton John, 1973) with some of the chord progressions. Or even parts of Tesla's Signs (1990), from Five Man Acoustical Jam!

[@deniseyonkers1463]

Outstanding! 💕🌺

[@karenshepherd4660]

My favorite church song. Its not in the Episcopal hymnal however. I want this played at my funeral.

[@scottsessions2363]

It is found in the Canadian Anglican hymnal, if that helps.

[@thedoctorplusone]

Anglican Church of Australia, this has always been a favourite of mine! It's number 474 in Together in Song hymnal

[@reineloebs461]

Breaking Bread 2017, Gather Us In, Page 302, Musician Credited is Marty Haugen. You know, when an airplane is spiraling toward the water, and about to explode we continue to have people that are complaining about the snacks that are being served!

[@jayuihlein1664]

Amen! Come Lord Jesus! We await your return. May it be soon!

[@irenedeleon5719]

awesome song love it

[@markparrotte9844]

Rejoice in the day when the Lord shall return

[@yasminkarcher9419]

Great song btw it's always playing in my head in the background

[@patriciacoponiti831]

I'm in the contemporary choir and we sing this song on Sunday for 12 noon mass.

[@adelaidawallaert287]

Just beautiful!

[@karinmannings1581]

Absolutly wonderfull

[@bradfordbogan7248]

I believe in Jesus

[@christhomas759]

Have always thought this would be a great way to kick off an NFL game. Imagine 80,000 Packers fans rising as one at high noon for kickoff…the house organ…”fire of love in our flesh and our bones” echoing in a form of holy intimidation to the opponent…

[@PABWECG]

Such a wonderful song!

[@marleneponce3719]

I like catolic música,very much, thanks You!

[@paulamorris6058]

United Methodist. We played this today. This version is a beautiful rendition.

[@roniannecarlson]

+Paula DeVore Our choir will sing this hymn on 1/24.

[@melissabird23]

Thank you for posting :)

[@Barefoot0Walker]

one of my favorite of the contemporary songs in _tfws_ (the little black softcover hymnal). this is a fine rendition of it.

[@melanieshaw3210]

We sang it today from TFWS also! I had never heard it before and I came here to find it to give it another listen 😊. I loved the melody.

[@Barefoot0Walker]

@@melanieshaw3210 i think almost all who sing or listen to it are enamored by it!

[@Veritas.Studios.Channel]

This is such woke, liberal, 1970s, Christian music!!!!!! This exists!!! Kamala can listen to this to cheer herself up after losing the 2024 election. When she fights she wins!!

[@inaayabintmusab9612]

thank you

[@gordonsacco213]

It's good to read all the faith based replies.

[@Person-bp7qk]

this is the first vid I watched from u and I alredy subed

[@VoDucQuang]

I cannot thank you enough for this song! It drove me to the Traditional Latin Mass! #dated #lame

[@PABWECG]

This is such an unnecessary and petty comment.

[@FW-jq1ox]

Typical Traditional Catholic thinking: "95% of parishioners enjoy this? That must mean it's evil and we must replace it immediately!" #noonespeakslatin

[@kbphilip777]

⭐⭐⭐JESUS IS COMING VERY VERY VERY SOON!🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺 The return of Jesus is at hand! JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN! 📖 John 14:6 says, " Jesus says, 'I AM THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. NO ONE COMES UNTO THE FATHER (in Heaven) BUT BY ME'. JESUS CHRIST is the only, true way to Salvation! It’s the free gift of GOD to all those who believe and trust Him! SALVATION! is the redemption of one’s soul from eternal destruction after death of man, on this earth, by the cleansing of the blood, and by the death and power of resurrection of Jesus Christ 📖Acts.4:12 says. Salvation is found in no one else (except Jesus Christ), for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved." How is SALVATION gifted to man? For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. 📖John 3:3 says, Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be Born Again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. How can a man be BORN-AGAIN? To be Born-Again in spiritual sense, is to die to our old sinful nature and be born-again in the spirit, to be holy, righteous with a new nature in Christ Jesus. 👉To be born-again, we need to repent & confess our sinful past for a holy future. What is repentance? 👉 REPENTANCE! Everyone born into this world is a Born-sinner. Human nature is a sinful nature. Sin in us has defiled us and has separated us from the Holy God! We have to repent for all the unholy, lawless transgressions of God’s commandments done willfully or unknowingly, in order to obtain mercy and grace so that we might not be judged and fall into condemnation, the condemnation of eternal hell. 📖 Acts.3:19 says,..✔️Repent, then, and turn to GOD, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the LORD What is confession of sins? 👉 CONFESSION! The guilt of sin and it’s condemnation is rolled away if one truly regrets his sinful past and confesses them in the presence of Jesus Christ. 📖Romans.10:9 &10 ✔️That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. 📖 1 John, 1st chapter & verse 9 says.. ✔️If we confess our sins, He (Jesus Christ) is faithful and just to forgive us our sins(every sin)... The sole purpose of sending Jesus Christ into this world more than 2020 ago is this👇 📖John.3:16-17 says " 👉 GOD so loved the world (us) that He (Father GOD) gave His only begotten Son to die for us ( our redemption ), that whosoever believes in Him (Jesus) should not perish (in hell) but have everlasting life. 👉 GOD has not sent His Son to condemn the world (us), but the world (we) through Him (Jesus Christ) might be saved. ⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩ Dear Bro/Sis.🙏🏼, You may be of any race, religion or creed. Rich or poor. White or black or brown. You may be the least sinner or the worst sinner on earth. You may leading the worst of immoral life against the principles of the Almighty GOD. God is concerned about your future and not your past. All He asks you is to repent and confess your sins to obtain mercy and have a secured and a blessed hope! 📖 Hebrews.10:17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ If you say this small prayer with faith…👇 “ LORD JESUS, I am a sinner, I have committed so many sins knowingly and unknowingly. Have mercy on me. Please forgive my every sin with your precious, Holy blood shed on the cross to save me. I believe you died on the cross, you were buried and rose again the third day for my justification. I believe you are the Almighty GOD! Accept me as your child. Help me to lead a holy life. Fill my heart with joy, give me heart to seek you. In Jesus precious name, I ask and believe. Amen!🙏🏼 ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 👆 If you have said this prayer, I can assuredly tell you that you are a new creation. You are Born-Again in the spirit through the righteousness of Jesus Christ. 📖 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 👉 Be Holy as the LORD your GOD is Holy! ⏩FORSAKE SIN! 📖Proverbs.28:13 says..✔️He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. 👉📖Mark.16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not 📌shall be condemned ⏩Read the Bible 📖⏩Know the Truth⏩Go to a Christ centered Church⏩Be Baptized⏩Be Blessed! ⏩May the Holy Spirit GOD lead you & guide you!🙏🏼 👉 Be prepared for the RAPTURE! ( Return of Jesus Christ. THE JUDGE ) May the Lord richly bless you,🙏 📢 Please SHARE & SPREAD this GOSPEL 📖 to the WORLD.🌏.

[@evanc.1591]

Wow, a hymn that doesn't mention God even once. The crowning achievement of those who worship man.

[@thomasdeutsch7206]

The "gather" is an imperative. We are telling God to gather us like a shepherd would his sheep.

[@emilyvalles1607]

Um...God is the one being addressed?

[@crazy948]

though i will not be happy if this song be played in my asian-flavored Catholic Church, i LOL'd at those who do not like this. the composer was awe-inspired with God when he wrote this, and those who like it was also awe-inspired by the song. that's why the Church has to evolve to be all-inclusive, to include all types of expressions of faith. because we are a Church of different kinds of people and culture. that's the reason why it is called Catholic. now I wonder what people will say if they hear our asian-flavored expression of faith using kulintang, luntang, dabakan, buktot...and the good ol' recycled fruit cocktail can...will they still say it's a secular trash?

[@PABWECG]

Excellent comment.

[@jimmullane3498]

Sounds like BNLs "Lovers in a Dangerous Time"

[@sgr556]

The wreck of the Edmund fitzgerald

[@orthodoxemperor9757]

I get that reference! I'm a former RC.

[@gds15217]

Sounds like churchy filk music. And just as ghastly.

[@orthodoxemperor9757]

If you want real chant come to a ln Orthodox Divine Liturgy on any Sunday you'll quickly find out what real church music is all about and it ain't this drek.

[@robertweidner2480]

Anyone else notice that the lyrics don't really make any sense?

[@cllewis1]

Shh....you'll confuse the aging hippies who have foisted this kind of thing on the Catholic Church for the last 50 years or so.

[@yasminkarcher9419]

Robert Weidner they make perfect sense because it's about God's truth.

[@padraicfanning7055]

Except the fourth verse. For some reason, they took that out of the new round of GIA hymnals.

[@mikek17]

The Boomers did this trash

[@padraicfanning7055]

...and it's "irreversible". www.americamagazine.org/faith/2017/08/24/pope-francis-says-magisterial-authority-vatican-ii-liturgical-reform-irreversible

[@MarshallArtz007]

Sounds like a song that was cut from a bad 1970s Off-Broadway musical. Hard to imagine how something this dreadful could be deemed appropriate for worship music. 🎭

[@djpalindrome]

Now that bad 70s POP tunes have been infiltrated into the sacred liturgy, it seems impossible to get rid of them.The earthly liturgy should be a foretaste of the heavenly liturgy. Therefore it should be timeless.The Novus Ordo Church seems to be stuck in the 70s - tacky suburban architecture, ugly polyester vestments, felt banners, banal desacralized liturgy, and insipid music that should only be sung by purple dinosaurs.

[@padraicfanning7055]

Thanks, John Cage.

[@PABWECG]

LOL - sounds like you need to find an old-school Catholic Church and leave the rest of us to enjoy the breath of life that the 70s brought to worship! My oldest 4 siblings were raised in pre-Vatican II Catholicism and have all left the church, while the youngest 4 in my family were raised post-Vatican II (with the 70's music, the banners, English liturgy, family masses, etc) and we are all still actively engaged in our faith.

[@padraicfanning7055]

Did somebody mention the SSPX?

[@FW-jq1ox]

Your beliefs are stuck in the Spanish Inquisition. I believe there is a discipline whip somewhere in need of an owner.

[@deathstar2294]

My favorite ripoff of Gordon Lightfoot

[@tombroughton6757]

I do not like it. The lyrics are theologically incorrect. And Marty Haugen is overrated.

[@buergerdoc]

Listen, people! This is bad poetry. It is simply a construct of man-centered, meaningless words placed on a page with no poetic value. If one knows anything about poetry, it can be seen as drivel. But here we are in the 21st century of Catholic Christian worship, gleaning from the scraps of hack folk-lore and hoping to find true adoration to God, lifted up from our songs of hymnals whose pages seem to be turned inward to man. What a tragedy that the once great poetry of gifted Masters is buried in the heap of the forgotten, while empty fashion is brazenly exalted by those who live within themselves. Our Father in Heaven weeps! "My genius waits while they bath themselves in a deadened slumber."

[@meganmcgowan5798]

Here in this place, a bad hymn we're singing Just one of many that should be banished away A trite melody sets my two ears to stinging How did this garbage ever see light of day? This hymn is a sin, a song God-forsaken A musical sin, the tune is so lame The words are contrived and the doctrine's mistaken Please make it stop, I beg in God's name! How this got through, remains a mys'try Another bad hymn that we should erase. Another sad hymn that will go down in his'try Of bad Cath'lic music, another clear case This is a sin, the composer was naughty We cannot stand to sing this song You can do better, my dear friend Marty, But on this hymn, you went terribly wrong!

[@herbcruz4697]

The USCCB recently said that this song, as well as "Sing A New Church," are inappropriate for the Mass.

[@comnenus9745]

This is one of the most embarrassing 'hymns' I have ever heard. Well, I guess it is Traditional Latin Mass exclusively for me.

[@sgr556]

It sounds like the song “the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” by Gordon light foot
