Hymn 798 – YE Holy Saints where goest thou? | C&S English Hymnary

1. YE Holy Saints where goest thou? And clutching palm fronds in thine hand We’re marching on our King to meet As He hath promiseth to us. Chorus: We’re marching forth, to palace of our King Onto the promised land Whereforth sinners can never dwell Wherefoth there is eternal rest. 2. Ye sacred Saints to us inform Of eternal joy there exists Of the white robes and glorious crown From Jesus Christ, to us attain. Chorus: We’re marching forth... 3. We hath no dwelling abode here Dreadful, if here be our abode Joy at the dawn, weeping at dusk But naught of this art found above. Chorus: We’re marching forth... 4. Open ajar the door, ye Saints For earthly Saints to enter in We of the earth from woe and pains Now here with Holy God to dwell. Chorus: We’re marching forth... 5. Great multitude from all the world With satan hath fought, vict’ry won All adopted children of God Come O! my friend, ere it’s too late. Chorus: We’re marching forth... 6. The earthly terrain all of naught With the Lord, come, invest to gain The earthly friends art all but vain Un-denying friend art the Lord. Chorus: We’re marching forth... 7. The earth, its savour now is lost The earthly value, all is dross Come to the Lord, brethren decide Eternal joy, all ye may earn. Chorus: We’re marching forth... 8. Twenty and four heavenly beings We earthly hosts, thy band belong For the earth, its savour is lost Heav’nly savour, may we partake. Chorus: We’re marching forth, to palace of our King Onto the promised land Whereforth sinners can never dwell Wherefoth there is eternal rest AMEN
