They Whose Course on Earth Is O’er (EN 5315)

EN 5315 They Whose Course on Earth Is O’er

1Thess.5.10

Versi Version 1

1

They whose course on earth is o’er

Think they of their brethren more?

They before the Throne who bow,

Feel they for their brethren now?

2

We, by enemies distressed

They in Paradise at rest;

We the captives—they the freed—

We and they are one indeed.

3

One in all we seek or shun,

One—because our Lord is one;

One in heart and one in love—

We below, and they above.

4

Those whom many a land divides,

Many mountains, many tides,

Have they with each other part,

Fellowship of heart with heart?

5

Each to each may be unknown,

Wide apart their lots be thrown;

Differing tongues their lips may speak,

One be strong, and one be weak—

6

Yet in sacrament and prayer

Each with other hath a share;

Hath a share in tear and sigh,

Watch and fast, and litany.

7

Saints departed even thus

Hold communion still with us;

Still with us, beyond the veil

Praising, pleading without fail.

8

With them still our hearts we raise,

Share their work and join their praise,

Rendering worship, thanks and love

To the Trinity above.
