Brothers, Joining Hand to Hand

lyricist: John Warner, 1900
Composer: Bohemian Brethren, 1544

Brothers

join­ing hand to hand

In one bond unit­ed

Pressing on­ward to that land

Where all wrongs are right­ed:

Let your words and act­ions be

Worthy your vo­ca­tion;

Chosen of the Lord

and free

Heirs of Christ’s sal­va­tion.

Christ

the Way

the Truth

the Life

Who hath gone be­fore you

Through the tur­moil and the strife

Holds His ban­ner o’er you;

All who see the sac­red sign

Press to­wards Heav’ns por­tal

Fired by hope that is di­vine

Love that is im­mor­tal.

They who fol­low fear no foe

Care not who as­sail them;

Where the Mas­ter leads

they go

He will nev­er fail them;

Courage

bro­thers! we are one

In the love that sought us;

Soon the war­fare shall be done

Through the grace He brought us.
