Oh Haste Away, My Brethren Dear (Little Flock Hymnbook #298)

1

Oh haste away, my brethren dear,

And come to Canaan’s shore;

We’ll meet and sing forever there,

When all our toils are o’er.

Oh that will be joyful, joyful, joyful!

Oh that will be joyful!

To meet to part no more,

On Canaan’s happy shore.

And then sing Hallelujah,

With the saints that have gone before.

2

In bridal robes, all clothed in white,

Will all His saints appear:

And, shining in His glory bright,

We’ll see our Jesus there.

Oh that will be joyful, joyful, joyful!

Oh that will be joyful!

To meet to part no more,

On Canaan’s happy shore.

And then sing Hallelujah,

With the saints that have gone before.

“And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.” (Revelation 21:2)

“Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” (1 John 3:2)

3

In heaven triumphant joy is found

When sons to God are born;

How will its vaults with praise resound

On the millennial morn!

Oh that will be joyful, joyful, joyful!

Oh that will be joyful!

To meet to part no more,

On Canaan’s happy shore.

And then sing Hallelujah,

With the saints that have gone before.

4

In Canaan’s happy land we’ll meet

To chant this glorious lay;

Our hearts, well tuned, will sing so sweet,

Through one eternal day.

Oh that will be joyful, joyful, joyful!

Oh that will be joyful!

To meet to part no more,

On Canaan’s happy shore.

And then sing Hallelujah,

With the saints that have gone before.

5

Through one eternal day we’ll sing,

And bless His sacred name,

With "Hallelujahs to the King!"

And "Worthy is the Lamb!"

Oh that will be joyful, joyful, joyful!

Oh that will be joyful!

To meet to part no more,

On Canaan’s happy shore.

And then sing Hallelujah,

With the saints that have gone before.
