Let Saints on Earth in Concert Sing

Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 176 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:35-58 Lyrics: 1 Let saints on earth in concert sing with those whose work is done; for all the servants of our King in earth and heaven, are one. 2 One family, we live in him, 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 his host have crossed the flood and part are crossing now. 4 But all unite in Christ their head, and love to sing his praise: Lord of the living and the dead, direct our earthly ways! 5 So we shall join our friends above who have obtained the prize; and on the eagle wings of love to joys celestial rise.

Lift Your Glad Voices

Author: Henry Ware Jr. Meter: 10.11.11.11.12.11.10.11 Appears in 162 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15 First Line: Lift your glad voices in triumph on high Lyrics: 1 Lift your glad voices in triumph on high, for Jesus has risen and we shall not die. Vain were the terrors that gathered around him, and short the dominion of death and the grave. He burst from the fetters of evil that bound him, resplendent in glory, to live and to save. Loud was the chorus of angels on high, the Savior has risen, and we shall not die. 2 Glory to God, in full anthems of joy; the being God gave us, death cannot destroy. Sad were the life we may part with tomorrow, if tears were our birthright and death were our end. But Jesus has cheered the deep valley of sorrow, and bade us, immortal, to heaven ascend. Lift then your voices in triumph on high, for Jesus has risen, and we shall not die.

Sing with All the Saints in Glory

Author: William J. Irons Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 109 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15 Lyrics: 1. Sing with all the saints in glory, sing the resurrection song! Death and sorrow, earth's dark story, to the former days belong. All around the clouds are breaking, soon the storms of time shall cease; in God's likeness we, awaking, know the everlasting peace. 2. O what glory, far exceeding all that eye has yet perceived! Holiest hearts, for ages pleading, never that full joy conceived. God has promised, Christ prepares it, there on high our welcome waits. Every humble spirit shares it; Christ has passed th'eternal gates. 3. Life eternal! heaven rejoices: Jesus lives, who once was dead. Join we now the deathless voices; child of God, lift up your head! Patriarchs from the distant ages, saints all longing for their heaven, prophets, psalmists, seers, and sages, all await the glory given. 4. Life eternal! O what wonders crowd on faith; what joy unknown, when, amidst earth's closing thunders, saints shall stand before the throne! O to enter that bright portal, see that glowing firmament; know, with thee, O God Immortal, "Jesus Christ whom thou has sent!"

Thou too shalt bear an harp of gold, To crown thy joy when he appears. 6 Tho' in the dust I lay my head, Yet, gracious God, thou wilt not leave My flesh forever with the dead, Nor lose thy children in the grave.
