HEAVENLY UNION
Attend, Ye Saints
Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10641 Meter: 8.8.8.8.7 First Line: Atttend, ye saints, and hear me tell Lyrics: 1 Atttend, ye saints, and hear me tell
The wonders of Immanuel;
Who saved me from a burning hell,
And brought my soul with Him to dwell,
And feel a blessèd union.
2 At first He saw me from on high,
Beheld my soul in ruin lie;
He looked on me with pitying eye,
And said to me as He passed by,
"With God you have no union."
3 Then I began to mourn and cry,
I looked this way and that to fly;
It grieved me for that I must die,
I strove salvation for to buy
But still I had no union.
4 But when my Savior took me in,
And with His blood did wash me clean,
’Twas then I hated every sin;
And O! what seasons I have seen,
E’er since I felt this union.
5 I praised the Lord both night and day,
From house to house I went to pray;
And if I met one on the way,
I always had some word to say
About this blessèd union.
6 I wonder why old saints don’t sing,
And praise the Lord upon the wing,
And make the heav’nly arches ring,
With loud hosannas to their king,
Who brought their souls to union.
7 O come, backsliders, come away,
And learn to do as well as say;
And mind to watch as well as pray:
Come, bear your cross from day to day,
And then you’ll feel this union.
8 Soon we shall break all nature’s ties,
On wings of love our souls shall rise,
And shout salvation through the skies,
And gain the mark and win the prize,
And feel a heav’nly union.
9 Then every saint that’s here below,
Will leave these climes of pain and woe;
And they will home to glory go;
And there they’ll hear and see and know
And feel this perfect union.
10 There we the glorious Lamb shall see,
Who groaned and died upon the tree,
For sinners such as you and me,
That we might His salvation see,
And feel a heav’nly union.
11 When we recount life’s dangers o’er,
Review the labors which we bore;
And see ourselves safe on the shore,
With love our conqueror we’ll adore,
And feel increasing union.
12 When countless years have rolled away,
Our vigor suffering no decay,
We’ll all as one with rapture say,
We still remember well the day
Our souls first felt this union.
13 Reign, glorious Jesus, reign on high,
’Tis Thou that brought us rebels nigh;
We’ll shout redemption through the sky,
And praise Thee to eternity
For such a glorious union.
14 The hosts of Heav’n shall all agree,
In purest strains of symphony;
And shout, "Eternal glory be
To three in One, and One in three,"
Crying, "O this glorious union." Languages: English Tune Title: NEW UNION

Author of "Attend, Ye Saints" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Oliver Holden
1765 - 1844 Composer of "NEW UNION" in The Cyber Hymnal Holden, Oliver, one of the pioneers of American psalmody, was born in 1765, and was brought up as a carpenter. Subsequently he became a teacher and music-seller. He died at Charlestown, Massachusetts, 1844. His published works are American Harmony, 1793; the Worcester Collection, 1797; and other Tune books. One of his most popular tunes is "Coronation." It is thought that he edited a small hymn-book, published at Boston before 1808, in which are 21 of his hymns with the signature "H." A single copy only of this book is known, and that is without title-page. Of his hymns the following are in common use:—
1. All those who seek a throne of grace. [God present where prayer is offered.] Was given in Peabody's Springfield Collection, 1835, No. 92, in a recast form as, “They who seek the throne of grace." This form is in extensive use in America, and is also in a few collections in Great Britain.
2. With conscious guilt, and bleeding heart. [Lent.] This, although one of the best of Holden's hymns, has passed out of use. It appeared, with two others, each bearing bis signature, in the Boston Collection (Baptist), 1808.
3. Within these doors assembled now. [Divine Worship.] [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.]
