Gathering Flowers
(For The Master’s Bouquet)
by Marvin E. Baumgardner
(Arranged by Tom Hunnicutt)


1st Verse

Death is an angel sent down from above,
Sent for the buds and the flowers we love;
Truly ‘tis so, for in heaven’s own way,
Each soul is a flower in the Master’s bouquet.

Chorus

Gathering Flowers for the Master’s Bouquet,
Beautiful flow’rs that will never decay;
Gathered by angels and carried away,
Forever to bloom in the master’s bouquet.

2nd Verse

Love ones are passing each day and each hour,
Passing away as the life of a flow’er,
But every bud and each blossom some day,
Will bloom as a flow’r in the Master’s bouquet.

3rd Verse

Let us be faithful till life’s work is done,
Blooming with love till the reaper has come.
Then we’ll be gathered together for aye,
Trans-planted to bloom in the Master’s bouquet.
