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 have crossed the flood,
And part are crossing now. 2/4
Verse 3
Ten thousand to their endless home
This solemn moment fly;
And we are to the margin come,
And we expect to die;
Even now by faith we join our hands
With those that went before,
And greet the blood be-sprinkled bands
On the eternal shore. 3/4
Verse 4
Our spirits too shall quicky join,
Like theirs with glory crowned,
And shout to see our captain's sign, To hear his
trumpet sound.
O that we now might grasp our guide!
O that the word were given! Come, Lord of
hosts, the waves divide, And land us all in
heaven. Amen. 4/4

and see the saints above, how great their joys,
How bright their glories be. 1/8

Once they were mourners here below,
And poured out cries and tears;
They wrestled hard, as we do now,
With sins, and doubts, and fears. 2/5

I ask them whence their victory came;
They, with united breath,
Ascribe their conquest to the lamb,
Their triumph to His death. 3/5

And, following their incarnate God,
Possess the promised rest. 4/5

For His own pattern given;
While the long cloud of witnesses
Show the same path to heaven. 5/5

I am weak but Thou art strong,
Jesus, keep me from all wrong,
I‟ll be satisfied as long,
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee.

Who with me my burden shares?
None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee.

Let it be, dear Lord, let it be. 2/3

When my feeble life is o‟er,
Time for me won't be no more,
Guide me gently, safely o‟er,
To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore.
