Come, let us join our friends above
Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 345 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, let us join our friends above,
That have obtained the prize,
And on the eagle wings of love
To joy 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 has crossed the flood,
And part is crossing now.
5 His militant, embodied coast,
With wishful looks we stand,
And long to see that happy coast,
And reach that heavenly land.
6 Even now by faith we join our hands
With those that went before,
And greet the blood-besprinkled bands
On the eternal shore.
7 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. Topics: The Church The Communion of Saints Used With Tune: NORMANTON

Your Law, O Lord, Is Perfect (Psalm 19)
The Shepherd Now Was Smitten
Author: Guillaume de la Brunetière; Francis Pott Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The Shepherd now was smitten;
The wolf was ravening near;
The scattered flock he threatened,
But knew not whose they were.
2. In zealous fury seeking
To bind and crucify,
A sudden voice withheld him,
A loud and startling cry:
3. Saul! Saul! why blindly daring
To persecute thy Lord?
’Tis Jesus whom thou hatest,
Rebel not at My Word.
4. Then forth in prayer he stretcheth
Those hands prepared to slay;
What wouldst Thou with Thy servant?
My Lord and Master, say.
5. Christ’s foe becomes His soldier,
The wolf destroys no more,
A gentle lamb he enters
The sheepfold by the door.
6. O voice of God Almighty,
What wonders hath it wrought!
It rends the lofty cedars,
It bends the haughty thought.
7. Jesu, our Shepherd, cease not
Thy flock from harm to free,
And, when Thy sheep are wandering,
O lead them back to Thee.
8. To Father, Son, and Spirit,
All glory, praise and might,
Who called us out of darkness
To His own glorious light. Used With Tune: VULPIUS Text Sources: Cluniac Breviary, 1686, p. 914; Translation in Hymns Fitted to the Order of Common Prayer, 1861, & the compilers of Hymns Ancient and Modern

My soul there is a country
Author: Henry Vaughan, 1622-95 Meter: 7.6.7.6 Appears in 39 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My soul there is a country
Far beyond the stars,
Where stands a wingèd sentry
All skilful in the wars:
2 There above noise, and danger,
Sweet peace sits crowned with smiles,
And One born in a manger
Commands the beauteous files.
3 He is thy gracious Friend,
And O my soul, awake!
Did in pure love descend,
To die here for thy sake.
4 If thou canst get but thither,
There grows the flower of peace,
The Rose that cannot wither,
Thy fortress and thy ease.
5 Leave then thy foolish ranges,
For none can thee secure
But one who never changes,
Thy God, thy life, thy cure. Used With Tune: CHRISTUS DER IST MEIN LEBEN

Alleluia!

the bars from heaven’s high portals fell;

Alleluia!

from death’s dread sting thy servants free,
that we may live and sing to thee.

If onward ye will tread
With Jesus as your fellow,
To Jesus as your Head!
2 O happy if ye labor
As Jesus did for men;
O happy if ye hunger
As Jesus hungered then!

The sorrows ye endure,
The manifold temptations
That death alone can cure,
4 What are they but His jewels
Of right celestial worth?
What are they but the ladder
Set up to heaven on earth?

Look upward to the skies,
Where such a light affliction
Shall win you such a prize! Topics: Christan Life Pilgrimage Scripture: 1 Peter 1:6-7 Used With Tune: VULPIUS
