435. Let saints below in concert sing

1 Let saints on earth in concert 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;

3 One army of the living God,
To His command we bow;
Part of his host have cross'd the flood,
And part are crossing now.

4 E'en now to their eternal home
Some happy spirits fly;
And we are to the margin come,
And soon expect to die.

5 E'en now, by faith, we join our hands
With those that went before,
And greet the ransom'd blessed bands
Upon th'eternal shore.

6 Lord Jesus! be our constant guide;
And when the word is given,
Bid death's cold flood its waves divide,
And land us safe in heaven.
