There’s a crowd gathering on another shore, The group’s grower larger every day. They are gathering in from all directions, Yet all came there by God’s narrow way. That crowd had skins of different shades, Spoke languages to each other quite unknown, But they are connected by one Royal Blood, For Christ firmly owns [...]
