The Saints on Earth and Those Above

Author: Charles Wesley; Isaac Watts Appears in 78 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The saints on earth and those above But one communion make; Joined to their Lord in bonds of love, All of His grace partake. 2 One family, we dwell in Him, One Church above, beneath; Tho' now divided by the stream, The narrow stream of death. 3 One army of the living God, To His command we bow; Part of the host have crossed the flood, And part are crossing now. 4 Lo! thousands to their endless home Are swiftly borne away; And we are to the margin come And soon must launch as they. 5 Lord Jesus, be our constant Guide; Then, when the word is given, Bid death’s flood its waves divide And land us safe in heaven. Amen. Topics: The Church Communion of Saints Scripture: Hebrews 12:22-24 Used With Tune: ST. FLAVIAN

Lord, We Confess Our Numerous Faults

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 119 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lord, we confess our numerous faults, How great our guilt has been! Foolish and vain were all our thoughts, And all our lives were sin. 2. But, O my soul! for ever praise, For ever love His name, Who turns thy feet from dangerous ways Of folly, sin and shame. 3. ’Tis not by works of righteousness Which our own hands have done; But we are saved by sovereign grace Abounding through His Son. 4. ’Tis from the mercy of our God That all our hopes begin; ’Tis by the water and the blood Our souls are washed from sin. 5. ’Tis through the purchase of His death Who hung upon the tree, The Spirit is sent down to breathe On such dry bones as we. 6. Raised from the dead we live anew; And, justified by grace, We shall appear in glory too, And see our Father’s face. Used With Tune: ST.
