The Communion of Saints. Part V. Hebrews 12:22, 23, 24 Source: Hymns and Sacred Poems (1740), Part I Author: Charles Wesley (attributed) --- The Communion of Saints. Part V. Hebrews xii. 22, 23, 24. King of saints, to whom are given All in earth, and all in heaven, Reconcil’d thro’ thee alone, Join’d, and gather’d into one: Heirs of glory, sons of grace, Lo! To thee our hopes we raise, Raise and fix our hopes on thee, Full of immortality! Absent in our flesh from home, We are to Mount Sion come: Heaven is our soul’s abode, City of the living God; Enter’d there our seats we claim In the New Jerusalem, Join the countless angel-quire, Greet the first-born sons of fire.
