GATHERING FLOWERS FOR THE MASTER'S BOUQUET
Recorded by Kitty Wells
Written by Marvin Baumgardner

1.
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 flowers that will never decay ...
Gathered by angels and carried away ...
Forever to bloom in the Master's Bouquet.

2.
Loved ones are passing each day and each hour
Passing away as the life of a flower
But ev'ry bud and each blossom some day
Will bloom as a flower in the Master's Bouquet.

CHORUS

3.
Let us be faithful till life's work is done
Blooming with love till the reaper shall come
Then we'll be gathered together for aye,
Transplanted to bloom in the Master's Bouquet.

CHORUS

I simply love that hymn. It is one of the most beautiful of all hymns.

"But ev'ry bud and each blossom some day
Will bloom as a flower in the Master's Bouquet. "

It is romantic and poetic yet has some dramatic character to it. It is somewhat unique in its marvelously fluent romantic expression. Very literary. The Master's bouquet sending flowers to everyone around him in order to be happy one day - blooming beautifully. Isn't that wonderful?
