How are you helping in God's work of gathering His people, whether those who are living here on earth, and those whose spirits are already in the spirit world?

"Israel, Israel, God Is Calling

With spirit

1. Israel, Israel, God is calling,

Calling thee from lands of woe.

Babylon the great is falling;

God shall all her tow’rs o’erthrow.

Come to Zion, come to Zion

Ere his floods of anger flow.

Come to Zion, come to Zion

Ere his floods of anger flow.

2. Israel, Israel, God is speaking.

Hear your great Deliv’rer’s voice!

Now a glorious morn is breaking

For the people of his choice.

Come to Zion, come to Zion,

And within her walls rejoice.

Come to Zion, come to Zion,

And within her walls rejoice.

3. Israel, angels are descending

From celestial worlds on high,

And to man their pow’r extending,

That the Saints may homeward fly.

Come to Zion, come to Zion,

For your coming Lord is nigh.

Come to Zion, come to Zion,

For your coming Lord is nigh.

4. Israel! Israel! Canst thou linger

Still in error’s gloomy ways?

Mark how judgment’s pointing finger

Justifies no vain delays.

Come to Zion, come to Zion!

Zion’s walls shall ring with praise.

Come to Zion, come to Zion!

Zion’s walls shall ring with praise.

Doctrine and Covenants 133:7–16" (Hymn No. 7)

And here's the middle part of the commentary entitled: "Jesus Christ invites me to help gather His people before His Second Coming." :

"You could ask yourself the same questions while watching the video “A Witness of God” (Gospel Library) or reading or listening to a hymn about gathering, such as “Israel, Israel, God Is Calling” (Hymns, no. 7). What do you feel the Lord is trying to teach you about His work of gathering?"

God's work of gathering is a labor of love. Every one of His children is being given the opportunity to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ, whether here on this earth or in the spirit world. And everyone also has the opportunity to receive the ordinances of the gospel. Those who are no longer here on this earth still are able to receive the ordinances through the work for my ancestors inside the temple, the house of the Lord. Grateful for the privilege of doing this work here in Thailand since the temple here was dedicated more than a year ago. With my husband, I've been able to visit the temple regularly now than ever before and do the Lord's work for our ancestors, just as we did last night.
