Let saints on earth in concert sing

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #285 (1899) Topics: Communion with saints Lyrics: 1 Let saints on earth in concert sing With those to glory gone; For all the servants of our King, In earth and heaven are one. One family--we dwell in Him-- One church above, beneath, Though now divided by the stream-- The narrow stream of death. 2 One army of the living God, To His command we bow; Part of the host have crossed the flood, And part are crossing now. E'en now to their eternal home Some happy spirits fly; And we are to the margin come, And soon will have to die. 3 E'en now, by faith, we join our hands With those that went before, And greet the ransomed blessèd bands Upon th'eternal shore. Lord Jesus, be our constant guide; And when the word is given. Bid death's cold flood its waves divide, And land us safe in heaven. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ELLACOMBE

Must all the charms of nature then

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #591 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Communion with saints Lyrics: Must all the charms of nature, then, So hopeless to salvation prove? Can hell demand, can heav'n condemn, The man whom Jesus deigns to love? The man who sought the ways of truth, Paid friends and neighbors all their due; A modest, sober, lovely youth, And thought he wanted nothing new. But mark the change; thus spake the Lord- "Come, part with earth for heav'n today:" The youth, astonished at the word, In silent sadness went his way. Poor virtues that he boasted so, This test unable to endure; Let Christ, and grace, and glory go, To make his land and money sure! Ah, foolish choice of treasures here! Ah, fatal love of tempting gold! Must this base world be bought so dear? Are life and heav'n so cheaply sold? In vain the charms of nature shine, If this vile passion govern me: Transform my soul, O love divine! And make me part with all for thee. Scripture: Mark 10:21 Languages: English

I'll praise Him in His sacred house, And gladly to His altar move. [Chorus] 3 Now with His saints I choose my part; With them I come a welcome guest; Here rest, my once divided heart; In Him, thy blissful portion, rest. [Chorus] 4 High heaven, that heard the solemn vow, That vow renewed shall daily hear, Till, called at last from all below, I bless in death a bond so dear. [Chorus] Amen.

E'er the blue Heav'ns were stretch'd abroad

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.II (1766) Topics: Communion with Christ and Saints Lyrics: 1 E'er the blue Heav'ns were stretch'd abroad, From Everlasting was the Word; With God he was; the Word was God, And must divinely be ador'd. 2 By his own Pow'r were all Things made; By him supported all Things stand; He is the whole Creation's Head, And Angels fly at his Command. 3 E'er Sin was born, or Satan fell, He led the Host of Morning-Stars; (Thy Generation who can tell, Or count the Numbers of thy Years?) 4 But lo, he leaves those Heav'nly Forms, The Word descends and dwells in Clay, That he may hold Converse with Worms, Drest in such feeble Flesh as they. 5 Mortals with Joy beheld his Face, Th' Eternal Father's only Son; How full of Truth! how full of Grace! When thro' his Eyes the Godhead shone! 6 Arch-Angels leave their high Abode, To learn new Myst'ries here, and tell The Loves of our descending God, The Glories of EMANUEL.

Fain would I feed among thy Sheep, Among them rest, among them sleep. 3 Why should thy Bride appear like one That turns aside to Paths unknown? My constant Feet would never rove, Would never seek another Love. [4 The Footsteps of thy Flock I see; Thy sweetest Pastures here they be; A wond'rous Feast thy Love prepares, Bought with thy Wounds, & Groans & Tears. 5 His dearest Flesh he makes my Food, And bids me drink his richest Blood: Here to these Hills my Soul will come, Till my Beloved lead me home.

When Strangers stand and hear me tell

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.LXXVI (1766) Topics: Christ Communion with Him and Saints Lyrics: 1 When Strangers stand and hear me tell What Beauties in my Saviour dwell; Where he is gone they fain would know, That they may seek and love him too. 2 My best Beloved keeps his Throne On Hills of Light, in Worlds unknown; But he descends, and shows his Face In the young Gardens of his Grace. [3 In Vineyards planted by his Hand, Where fruitful Trees in Order stand; He feeds among the spicy Beds, Where Lilies show their spotless Heads. 4 He has engross'd my warmest Love, No earthly Charms my Soul can move: I have a Mansion in his Heart, Nor Death nor Hell shall make us part.] 5 He takes my Soul e'er I'm aware, And shews me where his Glories are, No Chariot of Amminadab The heav'nly Rapture can describe. [6 O may my Spirit daily rise On Wings of Faith above the Skies, Till Eeath shall make my last Remove, To dwell for ever with my Love. Scripture: Song of Solomon 6:1-3 Languages: English
