Come, ye that love the Lord,
And let your joys be known;
Join in a song with sweet accord,
And thus approach the throne.
The sorrows of the mind
Be banished from this place!
Religion never was designed
To make our pleasures less.
Let those refuse to sing,
Who never knew our God;
But servants of the heavenly King,
May speak their joys abroad.
The God, Who rules on high,
That all the earth surveys,
That rides upon the stormy sky,
And calms the roaring seas.
This awful God is ours,
Our Father and our Love;
He will send down his heavenly powers,
To carry us above.
There we shall see His face,
And never, never sin!
There, from the rivers of His grace,
Drink endless pleasures in.
Yea, and before we rise,
To that immortal state,
The thoughts of such amazing bliss,
Should constant joys create.
Then let our songs abound,
And every tear be dry;
We're marching through Emmanuel's ground,
To fairer worlds on high.
The hill of Zion yields
A thousand sacred sweets,
Before we reach the heavenly fields,
Or walk the golden streets.
The men of grace have found
Glory begun below:
Celestial fruit on earthly ground
From faith and hope may grow.
Then let our songs abound,
And every tear be dry;
We're marching o'er this hallowed ground
To fairer worlds on high.

Come, we that love the Lord,

Join in a song with sweet accord,
And thus surround the throne.

And let your joys be known;

And thus surround the throne.

And let your joys be known;

And thus surround the throne.

And let your joys be known;
Join in a song with sweet accord,
While ye surround his throne.
Come, we who love the Lord,
And let our joys be known;
Join in a song with sweet accord?
And thus surround the throne.

Who never knew our God;
But children should their praises bring
And speak their joys abroad.

May speak their joys abroad.

Let those refuse to sing.
Who never knew our God;
But favourites of the heavenly King
Should speak their joys abroad.
The God of heaven is ours,
Our Father and our love ;
His care shall guard life's fleeting hours,
Then waft our souls above.
Soon we shall see his face,
And never, never sin;
Soon, from the river of his grace,
Drink endless pleasures in.
The God who rules on high
And all the earth surveys,
Who rides upon the stormy sky
And calms the roaring seas,
The God that rules on high,
And thunders when he please,
That rides upon the stormy sky,
And manages the seas--
This sovereign God is ours,
A God of boundless love;
Whose faithful grace and mighty powers
Shall carry us above.
This mighty God is ours,
Our Father and our Love;
He will send down his heavenly powers,
To carry us above.
There we shall see His face,
And never, never sin;
There from the fountain of His grace
Drink endless pleasures in.
There shall we see his face,
And never, never sin:
There, from the river of his grace,
Drink endless pleasures in.
Yes, and before we rise
To that immortal state,
The thoughts of such amazing bliss
Shall constant joys create.
The men of grace have found
Glory begun below;
Celestial fruits on earthly ground
From hope and faith may grow.
Children of grace have found
Glory begun below:
Celestial fruits on earthly ground,
From faith and hope may grow.
The sons of God have found
That heaven begins below:
Celestial fruit on earthly ground
From faith and hope may grow.
The God that rules on high,
That all the earth surveys,
That rides upon the stormy sky,
And calms the roaring seas
Then let our songs abound,
And every tear be dry:
We're marching through Emmanuel's ground
To fairer worlds on high.
The let our sorrows cease,
And every tear be dry;
We're travelling through the paths of peace
To fairer worlds on high.
Then let our songs abound,
And every tear be dry;
We're travelling through Immanuel's ground,
To fairer worlds on high.
