Hymn 978
Come, let us join our friends above
Meter: C.M.
1
Come, let us join our friends above
who have obtained the prize,
and on the eagle wings of love
to joys 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 have crossed the flood,
and part are crossing now.
5
Our spirits too shall quickly join,
like theirs with glory crowned,
and shout to see our Captain's sign,
to hear this trumpet sound.
6
O Jesus be our guard and guide,
O that the word were given!
Come, Lord of Hosts, the waves divide,
and land us all in heaven.
