Come, let us join our friends above
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #495 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Come, let us join our friends above
That have obtained the prize,
And on the eagle wings of love
To joys celestial rise;
Let all the saints terrestrial 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 hath 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:
His militant, embodied host,
With wistful looks we stand,
And long to see that happy coast,
And reach that heavenly land,
4 Our old companions in distress
We haste again to see,
And eager long for our release
And full felicity:
E'en now by faith we join our hands
With those that went before,
And greet the blood-besprinkled bands
On the eternal shore.
5 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. Topics: The Church Year All Saints Day; The Church Year All Saints Day; Communion of Saints Tune Title: [Come, let us join our friends above]

Lord, who at Cana's wedding feast
Author: Adelaide Thrupp Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #536 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Lord, who at Cana’s wedding feast
Didst as a guest appear,
Thou dearer far than earthly guest,
Vouchsafe Thy presence here;
For holy Thou indeed dost prove
The marriage vow to be,
Proclaiming it a type of love
Between the Church and Thee.
2 The holiest vow that man can make,
The golden thread in life,
The bond that none may dare to break,
That bindeth man and wife;
Which, blessed by Thee, whate’er betides,
No evil shall destroy,
Through care-worn days each care divides,
And doubles every joy.
3 On those, who now before Thee kneel,
O Lord, Thy blessing pour,
That each may wake the other’s zeal
To love Thee more and more:
O grant them here in peace to live,
In purity and love,
And, this world leaving, to receive
A crown of life above. Topics: Various Occasions Marriage and the Home; Various Occassions Marriage and the Home Tune Title: [Lord, who at Cana's wedding feast]
