Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #435 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Let saints on earth in concert 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;
3 One army of the living God,
To His command we bow;
Part of his host have cross'd the flood,
And part are crossing now.
4 E'en now to their eternal home
Some happy spirits fly;
And we are to the margin come,
And soon expect to die.
5 E'en now, by faith, we join our hands
With those that went before,
And greet the ransom'd blessed bands
Upon th'eternal shore.
6 Lord Jesus! be our constant guide;
And when the word is given,
Bid death's cold flood its waves divide,
And land us safe in heaven. Topics: Christians their life and experience; Communion Of Saints; Christian Friendship; Love to Christian brethren; Union in heaven and on earth; Unity of the Church Languages: English
