143. Oh, will you join our happy band

1 Oh, will you join our happy band,
All, all is love.
We're marching to fair Canaan's land,
All, all is love.
With cheerful hearts we love to sing
The glories of our heavenly King,
And to his fold the wayward bring,
Where all, all is love.

2 His gracious hand our steps shall guide,
All, all is love.
There's safety near his bleeding side,
All, all is love.
Come wash in this atoning flood,
This fountain filled with Jesus' blood
'Twill fit you for that blest abode
Where all, all is love.

3 By faith we see those hills so bright,
All, all is love.
And countless millions rob'd in white,
All, all is love.
And when we meet to part no more
With those we love, who've gone before,
We'll shout upon that shining shore,
Here, all, all is love.

4 Oh, happy day! oh, glorious rest!
All, all is love.
We shall be safe among the blest,
All, all is love.
What notes of rapture strike the ear!
Is it the music of that sphere?
Oh, hallelujah! heaven is near!
And all, all is love.
