Gathering Flowers For The Master's Bouquet Lyrics - The Stanley Brothers

Death is an angel sent down from above 

Sent for the buds and the flowers we love 

Truly it is so, for in heaven's own way 

Each soul is a flower in the Master's bouquet 

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 

Let us be faithful till life's work is done 

Blooming with love till the reaper has come 

Then we'll be gathered together someday 

Transplanted to bloom in the Master's bouquet
