  1. 1Come, let us join our friends above,
  2. That have obtained the prize,
  3. And on the eagle wings of love
  4. To joy celestial rise.
  5. 2Let all the saints terrestrial sing
  6. With those to glory gone;
  7. For all the servants of our King
  8. In earth and heav'n are one.
  9. 3One family, we dwell in Him,
  10. One Church above, beneath;
  11. Though now divided by the stream,
  12. The narrow stream of death.
  13. 4One army of the living God,
  14. To His command we bow;
  15. Part of His host has crossed the flood,
  16. And part is crossing now.
  17. 5E'en now by faith we join our hands
  18. With those that went before,
  19. And greet the blood-besprinkled bands
  20. On the eternal shore.
  21. 6Lord Jesus, be our constant Guide,
  22. And when the word is given,
  23. Bid the cold waves of death divide,
  24. And land us all in heaven.
  25. 7Amen.
