The whole family in heaven and earth.
Eph 3:15.
Come, let us join our friends above,
Who have obtained the prize,
And on the eagle wings of love,
To joy celestial rise.
2 Let saints below in concert sing
With those to glory gone;
For all the servants of our King,
In heaven and earth 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 the host have crossed the flood,
And part are crossing now.
5 Even now to their eternal home
Some happy spirits fly;
And we are to the margin come,
Expecting soon to die!
6 Dear Saviour! be our constant guide;
Then, when the word is given,
Bid Jordan’s narrow stream divide,
And land us safe in heaven.
C. Wesley.
