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.
