Come, Let Us Join Our Friends Above

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 345 hymnals Topics: Christian Year All Saints Day Lyrics: 1. Come, let us join our friends above who have obtained the prize, and on the eagle wings of love to joys celestial rise. Let saints on earth unite to sing with those to glory gone, for all the servants of our King in earth and heaven are one. 2. One family we dwell in him, one church above, beneath, though now divided by the stream, the narrow stream of death; one army of the living God, to his command we bow; part of his host have crossed the flood, and part are crossing now. 3. Ten thousand to their endless home this solemn moment fly, and we are to the margin come, and we expect to die. E'en now by faith we join our hands with those that went before, and greet the blood-besprinkled bands on the eternal shore. 4. Our spirits too shall quickly join, like theirs with glory crowned, and shout to see our Captain's sign, to hear his trumpet sound. O that we now might grasp our Guide! O that the word were given! Come, Lord of Hosts, the waves divide, and land us all in heaven. Used With Tune: FOREST GREEN

What ringing of a thousand harps Bespeaks the triumph nigh! O day, for which creation And all its tribes were made; O joy, for all its former woes A thousandfold repaid! 3 O then what raptured greetings On Canaan's happy shore; What meeting there of parted friends Where partings are no more! Then eyes with joy shall sparkle, That brimmed with tears of late; Orphans no longer fatherless, Nor widows desolate. 4 Bring near Thy great salvation, Thou Lamb for sinners slain; Fill up the roll of Thine elect, Then take Thy power, and reign; Appear, Desire of nations, Thine exiles long for home; Show in the heaven Thy promised sign; Thou Prince and Saviour, come.

Lo! what a cloud of witnesses

Appears in 62 hymnals Topics: Holy Days All Saints Lyrics: 1 Lo! what a cloud of witnesses Encompass us around! Men once like us with suff'ring tried, But now with glory crown'd. 2 Let us, with zeal like theirs inspired, Strive in the Christian race; And, freed from every weight of sin, Their holy footsteps trace. 3 Behold a Witness nobler still, Who trod affliction's path; Jesus, the author, finisher, Rewarder of our faith. 4 He, for the joy before Him set, And moved by pitying love, Endured the Cross, despised the shame, And now He reigns above. 5 Thither, forgetting things behind, Press we go God's right hand; There, with the Saviour and His saints, Triumphantly to stand.
