Hymnal ‎#188

188. Come, let us join our friends above

1 Come, let us join our friends above
That have made sure the prize,
And on the eagle wings of love
To joy celestial rise.

2 Let all the saints terrestrial sing,
With those to glory gone:
For all the servants of our King,
In earth and heaven, are one.

3 One family, we dwell in Him,
One Church, above, beneath;
Though now divided by the stream,
The narrow stream of death.

4 One army of the living God,
To His command we bow;
Part of His host hath crossed the flood,
And part is crossing now.

5 Our spirits too shall quickly join,
Like theirs with glory crown'd;
And shout to see our Captain's sign,
To hear His trumpet sound.

6 Then, Lord of Hosts, be Thou our Guide,
And we, at Thy command,
Through waves that part on either side,
Shall reach Thy Blessèd Land.
