They are flocking from the EastA
And the WestB
They are flocking from the NorthC
And the SouthD
Every moment setting forthC
From realm of snake or lionE
Swamp or sandF
Ice or burningG
Greatest and leastA
Palm in handF
And praise in mouthD
They are flocking up the pathH
To their restB
Up the path that hathH
No returningG
-
Up the steeps of ZionE
They are mountingG
Coming comingG
Throngs beyond man's countingG
With a soundI
Like innumerable beesJ
Swarming hummingG
Where flowering treesJ
Many tintedK
Many scentedK
All alike aboundI
With honeyL
With a swellM
Like a blast upswaying unrestrainableM
From a shadowed dellM
To the hill tops sunnyL
With a thunderN
Like the ocean when in strengthO
Breadth and lengthO
It sets to shoreP
More and moreP
Waves on waves redoubled pourP
Leaping flashing to the shoreP
Unlike the underN
Drain of ebb that loseth groundI
For all its roarP
-
They are throngingG
From the East and WestB
From the North and SouthD
Saints are thronging loving longingG
To their landF
Of restB
Palm in handF
And praise in mouthD
