Come, Let Us Join Our Friends Above

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 345 hymnals Topics: Christian Year All Saints Day Lyrics: 1. Come, let us join our friends above who have obtained the prize, and on the eagle wings of love to joys celestial rise. Let saints on earth unite to 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 have 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. E'en now by faith we join our hands with those that went before, and greet the blood-besprinkled bands on the eternal shore. 4. 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. Used With Tune: FOREST GREEN

Author: John M. Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: All Saints Lyrics: 1 Blessed feasts of blessed martyrs, Holy women, holy men, With the mem'ry of their witness Greet we your return again. Worthy deeds are theirs, and wonders, Worthy of the name they bore; We, our joyful praises singing, Honor them forevermore. 2 Faith prevailing, hope unfailing, Loving Christ with single heart, Thus they, glorious and victorious, Bravely bore the martyr's part, By contempt of ev'ry anguish, By unyielding battle done; Victors at the last, they triumph, With the host of angels one. 3 Therefore, you co-heirs of glory, All who dwell with Christ on high, Join to ours your supplication When before Christ we draw nigh, Praying that, this life completed, All its fleeting moments past, By his grace we may be worthy Of eternal bliss at last.

Yours the triumph, yours the victory alone! Hark! the songs of peaceful Zion thunder like a mighty flood: Jesus out of every nation you've redeemed us by your blood. 2 Alleluia! Not as orphans are we left in sorrow now. Alleluia! You are near us; faith believes, nor questions how. Though the cloud from sight received you, when the forty days were o'er, shall our hearts forget your promise, "I am with you evermore." 3 Alleluia! Bread of angels, you on earth our food, our stay. Alleluia! Here the sinful flee to you from day to day. Intercessor, friend of sinners, earth's Redeemer, plead for me, and the songs that sound in heaven will repeat your gracious plea. 4 Alleluia! Christ eternal, nothing can disrupt your reign; Alleluia! Born of Mary, heaven and earth are your domain. Human life you fully entered, tending those we count the least, serving both as Priest and Victim in the eucharistic feast. Scripture: Hebrews 9:11-14 Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL
