Let saints on earth in concert sing

Charles Wesley (1759) • English

Primary Scripture: Joshua 3:14-17

Verse 1

Let saints on earth in concert sing with those whose work is done; for all the servants of our King in heaven and earth are one.

Verse 2

One family, we dwell in him, one church, above, beneath; though now divided by the stream, the narrow stream of death.

Verse 3

One army of the living God, to his command we bow: part of the host have crossed the flood, and part are crossing now.

Verse 4

E'en now to their eternal home there pass some spirits blest; while others to the margin come, waiting their call to rest.

Verse 5

Jesu, be thou our constant guide; then, when the word is given, bid Jordan's narrow stream divide, and bring us safe to heaven.
