1. We've become the Lord's dear brothers Through His resurrection pow'r; He desires many brothers Sharing in His triumph hour! (Chorus:) 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! 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! (Chorus:) 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! 4. In the meetings we are feasting On the food unlimited. Jesus always satisfies us, Feeding us the living bread! 5. We would satisfy our Brother, Even though our portion's small. Every one must share his "new dish" For the benefit of all! (Chorus:) 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!
