VERSE 1
Come, ye that love the Lord, And let your joys be known;
Join in a song with sweet accord, Join in a song with sweet accord;
While ye surround his throne; While ye surround His throne.
Let those refuse to sing Who never knew our God;
But servants of the heavenly King; But servants of the heavenly King May speak their joys abroad; May speak their joys abroad.
VERSE 2
The God that rules on high, That all the earth surveys
That rides upon the stormy sky; That rides upon the stormy sky,
And calms the roaring seas- And calms the roaring seas-
This awful God is ours, Our Father and our love;
He will send down his heavenly powers, He will send down his heavenly powers,
To carry us above; To carry us above.
VERSE 3
There we shall see his face, And never, never sin;
There, from the rivers of his grace, There, from the rivers of his grace,
Drink endless pleasures in: Drink endless pleasures in:
Yea, and before we rise To that immortal state,
The thoughts of such amazing bliss The thoughts of such amazing bliss
Should constant joys create. Should constant joys create.
VERSE 4
The men of grace have found Glory begun below;
Celestial fruit on earthly ground; Celestial fruit on earthly ground
From faith and hope may grow: From faith and hope may grow:
Then let our songs abound, And every tear be dry;
We are marching through Immanuel’s grounds; We are marching through Immanuel’s grounds
To fairer worlds on high. To fairer worlds on high.
