      G                 D
[tab]     C                G
who have obtained the prize,

Em                C
And on the eagle wings of love

   A              D
to joys celestial rise.

     G                D
Let saints, on earth unite to sing

     C              G
with those to glory gone

Em                  C
For all the servants of our King

    D                   G
in earth and heaven are one.

   G           D
One family we dwell in Him,

    C             G
one church above, beneath,

  Em                        C
Though now divided by the stream,

     A              D
the narrow stream of death;

      G          D
One army of the living God,

  C               G
to His command we bow;

  Em                   C
Part of His host have crossed the flood,

    D                   G
and part are crossing now.

      G                 D
Ten thousand to their endless home

     C             G
this solemn moment fly,

    Em            C
And we are to the margin come,

  A              D
and we expect to die.

    G          D
His militant embodied host,

      C               G
with wishful looks we stand,

     Em                C
And long to see that happy coast,

     D                G
and reach the heavenly land.

     G                D
Our old companions in distress

    C             G
we haste again to see,

     Em                C
And eager long for our release,

  A              D
and full felicity:

      G                 D
Even now by faith we join our hands

     C               G
with those that went before;

       Em                C
And greet the blood besprinkled bands

   D           G
on the eternal shore.

      G                 D
Our spirits too shall quickly join,

      C           G
like theirs with glory crowned,

       Em                C
And shout to see our Captain's sign,

  A              D
to hear His trumpet sound.

  G                  D
O that we now might grasp our Guide!

    C                G
O that the word were given!

      Em                 C
Come, Lord of Hosts, the waves divide,

    D             G
and land us all in Heaven.
