Come, ye that love the Savior’s Name,
And joy to make it known,
The Sovereign of your hearts proclaim,
And bow before His throne.
Behold your Lord, your Master, crowned
With glories all divine;
And tell the wondering nations round
How bright those glories shine.
Infinite pow'r and boundless grace
In Him unite their rays;
You, that have e'er beheld His face,
Can you forbear his praise?
When, in His earthly courts, we view
The glories of our King,
We long to love as angels do,
And wish like them to sing.
And shall we long and wish in vain?
Lord, teach our songs to rise:
Thy love can animate the strain,
And bid it reach the skies.
O happy period! Glorious day!
When heav'n and earth shall raise,
With all their pow'rs the raptured lay,
To celebrate thy praise.
---Alternative verses---
Come, you that love the Saviour's name,
And joy to make it known,
The Sov'reign of your heart proclaim,
And bow before his throne.
Behold your King, your Saviour, crown'd
With glories all divine;
And tell the wond'ring nations round
How bright these glories shine.
When in the earthly courts we view
The beauties of our King,
We long to love as angels do,
And wish like them to sing.
