	COMMUNION OF SAINTS

	454



	2 One family, we dwell 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 the host have crossed the flood, I And part are crossing now. 4 Dear Saviour, be our constant guide; Then, when the word is given, Bid Jordan's narrow stream divide, And land us safe in heaven. Rev. Charles Wesley, 1759 I

	2 Let us with zeal like theirs inspired, Strive in the Christian race; And, freed from every weight of sin, Their holy footsteps trace. 3 Behold a witness nobler still, Who trod affliction's path-Jesus, the author, finisher, Rewarder of our faith:	4 He, for the joy before him set, And moved by pitying love, Endured the cross, despised the shame, And now he reigns above. 5 Thither, forgetting things behind, Press we, to God's right hand; There, with the Saviour and His saints, Triumphantly to stand. Scotch Paraphrases, 1745
