This hymn has a unique tune

 

 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!

 

 4  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!
