GATHERING FLOWERS FOR THE MASTER'S BOUQUET
Recorded By Kitty Wells
1942
In The Key of D
( D ) Death is an angel sent ( G ) down from ( D ) above,
Sent for the buds and the flowers we ( A ) love,
( D ) Truly, 'tis so for in ( G ) heaven's own ( D ) way,
Each soul is a flower in the ( A ) Master's Bou- ( D ) -quet,
( G ) Gathering flowers for the ( D ) Master's Bouquet,
Beautiful flowers that will never ( A ) decay,
( D ) Gathered by angels and ( G ) carried ( D ) away,
Forever to bloom in the ( A ) Master's Bou- ( D ) -quet,
Loved ones are passing each ( G ) day and each ( D ) hour,
Passing away as the life of a ( A ) flower,
( D ) But every bud and each ( G ) blossom some ( D ) day,
Will bloom as a flower in the ( A ) Master's Bou- ( D )-quet,
( G ) Gathering flowers for the ( D ) Master's Bouquet,
Beautiful flowers that will never ( A ) decay,
( D ) Gathered by angels and ( G ) carried ( D ) away,
Forever to bloom in the ( A ) Master's Bou- ( D ) -quet,
Let us be faithful till ( G ) life's work is ( D ) done,
Blooming with love till the reaper shall ( A ) come,
( D ) Then we'll be gathered ( G ) together some ( D ) day,
Transplanted to bloom in the ( A ) Master's Bou- ( D ) quet,
( G ) Gathering flowers for the ( D ) Master's Bouquet,
Beautiful flowers that will never ( A ) decay,
( D ) Gathered by angels and ( G ) carried ( D ) away,
Forever to bloom in the ( A ) Master's Bou- ( D ) –quet.
