Let saints on earth in concert sing
Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 177 hymnals Topics: Future hope Lyrics: 1 Let saints on earth in concert sing
with those whose work is done;

one church, above, beneath;
though now divided by the stream,
the narrow stream of death.
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.
4 E'en now to their eternal home
there pass some spirits blest;
while others to the margin come,
waiting their call to rest.
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. Scripture: Joshua 3:14-17 Used With Tune: DUNDEE

must enter by this door.
3 Come, Lord, when grace hath made me meet
thy blessed face to see;
for if thy work on earth be sweet,
what will thy glory be!
4 Then shall I end my sad complaints
and weary, sinful days,
and join with the triumphant saints
that sing my Saviour's praise.

the eye of faith is dim;
but 'tis enough that Christ knows all,
and I shall be with him. Scripture: John 14:6 Used With Tune: ST HUGH

it is the precious treasury
where gems of truth are stored;
it is the heaven-drawn picture
of Christ, the living Word.

a lamp of burnished gold,
to bear before the nations
thy true light, as of old;
O teach thy wandering pilgrims
by this their path to trace,
till, clouds and darkness ended,
they see thee face to face. Scripture: Psalm 119:105 Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE

the daylight is serene,
the pastures of the blessèd
are decked in glorious sheen.

and there, from care released,
the shout of them that triumph,
the song of them that feast;
and they, who with their leader
have conquered in the fight,
for ever and for ever
are clad in robes of white.

the home of God's elect!
O sweet and blessèd country
that eager hearts expect!

to that dear land of rest;
who art, with God the Father
and Spirit, ever blest. Scripture: Revelation 21:1-18 Used With Tune: EWING

the veil of sense hangs dark between
thy blessèd face and mine.

yet art thou oft with me;
and earth hath ne'er so dear a spot
as where I meet with thee.

must rest in faith alone,
I love thee, dearest Lord, and will,
unseen, but not unknown.

and still this throbbing heart,
the rending veil shall thee reveal
all glorious as thou art. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:12-13 Used With Tune: NUN DANKET ALL' (GRÄFENBERG)
