Verse 1
Come, we that love the Lord,
and let our joys be known;
join in a song
with sweet accord,
and thus surround the throne.
Verse 2
Let those refuse to sing
who never knew our God;
but children of
the heavenly King
may speak their joys abroad.
Verse 3
The hill of Zion yields
a thousand sacred sweets
before we reach
the heavenly fields,
or walk the golden streets.
Verse 4
Then let our songs abound,
and every tear be dry;
we’re marching through
Emmanuel’s ground,
to fairer worlds on high.
