Come let us all unite to praise
The Saviour of mankind;
Our thankful hearts in solemn lays,
be with our voices joined.
O Lord we cannot silent be;
By love we are constrained
To offer our best thanks to thee,
Our Saviour and our Friend.
But how shall dust his worth declare,
When angels try in vain;
Their faces veil when they appear
Before the Son of man.
Though feeble are our best essays,
Thy love will not despise
Our grateful songs of humble praise,
Our well meant sacrifice.
Let every tongue thy goodness show,
And spread abroad thy fame;
Let every heart with praise o’erflow,
Love thee and bless thy name.
Worship and honour, thanks and love,
Be to our Saviour given,
By men below, by saints above,
By all in earth and heaven.
---Alternative verses---
Let every tongue thy goodness show,
And spread abroad thy fame;
Let every heart with praise o’erflow,
And bless thy sacred name!
Worship and honour, thanks and love,
Be to our Jesus given,
By men below, by hosts above,
By all in earth and heaven.
