Come, let us join our friends above

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #555 (1917) Topics: Friends in Heaven; Friends in Heaven; Heaven Friends in Lyrics: 1 Come, let us join our friends above Who have obtained the prize, And on the eagle wings of love To joys celestial rise. Let all the saints terrestrial sing, With those to glory gone; For all the servants of our King, In earth and heaven, are one. 2 One family we dwell in Him, 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. 3 Even now by faith we join our hands With those who went before; And greet the blood-besprinkled bands On the eternal shore. Our spirits too shall quickly join, Like theirs with glory crowned, And shout to see our Captain's sign, To hear His trumpet sound. Languages: English Tune Title: MEADOWVALE

While to the grave our friends are borne

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #712 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Death Death of friends or relatives Lyrics: 1 While to the grave our friends are borne, Around their cold remains How all the tender passions mourn, And each fond heart complains! 2 But down to earth, alas! in vain We bend our weeping eyes, Ah! let us leave these seats of pain, And upwards learn to rise. 3 Hope cheerful smiles amid the gloom, And beams a healing ray; And guides us from the darksome tomb, To realms of endless day. 4 To those bright courts when hope ascends, She calms the swelling wo; In hope we meet our happy friends, And tears forget to flow. 5 Then let our hearts repine no more, That earthly comfort dies; But lasting happiness explore, And ask it from the skies.

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #444 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances On the Death of Relatives and Friends Lyrics: 1 Must friends and kindred droop and die, And helpers be withdrawn; While sorrow, with a weeping eye Counts up our comforts gone? 2 Be thou our comfort, mighty God! Our helper and our friend; Nor leave us in this dang'rous road, Till all our trials end. 3 O may our feet pursue the way Our pious fathers led; With love and holy zeal obey The counsels of the dead. 4 Let us be wean'd from earthly joys; Let hope our grief dispel, While dead in Jesus shall arise, In endless bliss to dwell.
