Come, every joyful heart

Verse 1

Come, every joyful heart
That loves the Saviour's name,
Your noblest powers exert
To celebrate His fame;

Tell all above and all below
The debt of love to Him you owe.

Verse 2

He left His heavenly crown,
His glory laid aside;
On wings of love came down,
And wept, and bled, and died:

What He endured no tongue can tell,
To save our souls from death and hell.

Verse 3

From the dark grave He rose—
The mansion of the dead;
And thence His mighty foes
In glorious triumph led:

Up through the sky the Conqueror rode,
And reigns on high, the Saviour God.

Verse 4

From thence He'll quickly come,
His chariot will not stay,
And bear His people home
To realms of endless day:

There shall we see His lovely face,
And ever be in His embrace.

Verse 5

Jesus, we ne'er can pay
The debt of love we owe;
Yet grant us day by day
Our

gratitude to show;
Our life, our all, to Thee we give,
To Thee, by whom alone we live.
