Let saints on earth in concert sing
|
Let saints on earth in concert sing With those whose work is done; For all the servants of our King In heaven and earth are one. One family, we dwell in him, One Church above, beneath; Though now divided by the stream, The narrow stream of death. One army of the living God, To his command we bow: /flood, Part of the host have crossed the And part are crossing now. E'en now to their eternal home There pass some spirits blest; While others to the margin come, Waiting their call to rest. Jesu, be thou our constant guide, Then, when the word is given, Bid Jordan's narrow stream divide, And bring us safe to heaven. |
Terrestribus emeriti sanctorum concinant; quippe omnes Regis famuli uniti habitant. In eo sumus una gens et una Ecclesia: quos separat interfluens angusta mors aqua. Nos una Domini cohors ab illo regimur; ab his est superata mors, pars nunc transgreditur. Sunt quorum nunc ad requiem vehantur animae, quas mox (eunt ad marginem) sequentur aliae. Iesu, constanter dirige nos, dein arcessitos scisso Jordanis flumine transfer ad angelos. |
