Come, Let Us Join Our Friends Above

Come, let us join our friends above,

That have obtained the prize,

And on the eagle wings of love

To joy celestial rise.

Let all the saints terrestrial sing

With those to glory gone;

For all the servants of our King

In earth and heav'n are one.

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 has crossed the flood,

And part is crossing now.

E'en now by faith we join our hands

With those that went before,

And greet the blood-besprinkled bands

On the eternal shore.

Lord Jesus, be our constant Guide,

And when the word is given,

Bid the cold waves of death divide,

And land us all in heaven.

Amen.
