Chapter 144: Rounded Up in Glory

I have been thinking to-day, As my thoughts began to stray, Of your memory to me worth more than gold. As you ride across the plain, 'Mid the sunshine and the rain,-- You will be rounded up in glory bye and bye.

Chorus: You will be rounded up in glory bye and bye, You will be rounded up in glory bye and bye, When the milling time is o'er And you will stampede no more, When he rounds you up within the Master's fold.

As you ride across the plain With the cowboys that have fame, And the storms and the lightning flash by. We shall meet to part no more Upon the golden shore When he rounds us up in glory bye and bye.

May we lift our voices high To that sweet bye and bye, And be known by the brand of the Lord; For his property we are, And he will know us from afar When he rounds us up in glory bye and bye.
