 1 

We've become the Lord's dear brothers

Through His resurrection pow'r;

He desires many brothers

Sharing in His triumph hour!

 

Jesus is our Elder Brother,

First-born of God's sons is He;

He came forth in resurrection,

From religion He is free!

As His church we come together;

Oldness, form, and self deny;

Just to meet with our Big Brother,

Him alone to glorify!

 
 2 

In our Brother's resurrection

Resurrected we must meet,

Never in our natural standing —

This will make His joy complete!

 

Jesus is our Elder Brother,

First-born of God's sons is He;

He came forth in resurrection,

From religion He is free!

As His church we come together;

Oldness, form, and self deny;

Just to meet with our Big Brother,

Him alone to glorify!

 
 3 

Every day we must see Jesus

As we're eating of the Word;

Then we'll run to all the meetings

Burning, bubbling with the Lord!

 

Jesus is our Elder Brother,

First-born of God's sons is He;

He came forth in resurrection,

From religion He is free!

As His church we come together;

Oldness, form, and self deny;

Just to meet with our Big Brother,

Him alone to glorify!

In the meetings we are feasting

On the food unlimited.

Jesus always satisfies us,

Feeding us the living bread!

 

Jesus is our Elder Brother,

First-born of God's sons is He;

He came forth in resurrection,

From religion He is free!

As His church we come together;

Oldness, form, and self deny;

Just to meet with our Big Brother,

Him alone to glorify!

 
 5 

We would satisfy our Brother,

Even though our portion's small.

Every one must share his "new dish"

For the benefit of all!

 

Jesus is our Elder Brother,

First-born of God's sons is He;

He came forth in resurrection,

From religion He is free!

As His church we come together;

Oldness, form, and self deny;

Just to meet with our Big Brother,

Him alone to glorify!

 
 6 

Not for message or for speaker,

But to meet the Lord we're here;

Caring only for His presence,

We would see our Brother dear!

 

Jesus is our Elder Brother,

First-born of God's sons is He;

He came forth in resurrection,

From religion He is free!

As His church we come together;

Oldness, form, and self deny;

Just to meet with our Big Brother,

Him alone to glorify!
