Gather us in, thou love that fillest all.
Gather our rival faiths within thy fold.
In diverse forms a common soul we see.
In many ships we seek one spirit-land.
Thine is the mystic life great India craves.
Thine is the Parsee’s sin destroying beam.
Thine is the Buddhist’s rest from tossing waves.
Thine is the empire of vast china’s dream.
Gather us in!—
By George Matheson in 1869, Scottish Poet And Mystic
