That have obtained 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 has crossed the flood,
And part is crossing now.
5 His militant, embodied coast,
With wishful looks we stand,
And long to see that happy coast,
And reach that heavenly land.
6 Even now by faith we join our hands
With those that went before,
And greet the blood-besprinkled bands
On the eternal shore.
7 Lord Jesus, be our constant Guide,
And when the word is given,
Bid the cold waves of death divide,
And land us all in heaven. Used With Tune: NORMANTON
