Hymn/Song Information

Come children of Zion and help us to sin




Come, children of Zion and help us to sing
Loud anthems of praises to Jesus our King,
Whose life once was given our souls to redeem,
And bring us to heaven to dwell there with him.


Not angels in glory, nor seraphs above
Can fathom the ocean of infinite love:
Their wisdom can't reach it; they cannot tell why
The Sov'reign of angels for sinners should die.


In regions of darkness, death, sorrow, and pains,
We all lay in ruin, in prison and chains;
But Jesus has bought us with his precious blood,
The ransom provided to bring us to God.


O, why should we linger in regions below,
When rivers of pleasure in Paradise flow?
So sweetly they glide through the regions above,
And stream ever fresh from the fountain of love


Come, then, my dear brethren, count all things but loss;
Your treasure's in heaven--don't shrink from the cross;
Ye fav'rites of heaven, dear lambs of the fold,
Though demons surround you, be faithful and bold.


Consider the dangers that lie in your way,
What snares and temptations in this evil day;
All this you must suffer, and patient endure
Till Jesus shall take us where suff'rings are o'er.


Then with him in glory we ever shall reign,
Deliver'd from sorrow, temptation, and pain,
To join with the angels, and spirits divine,
In Jesus' own image eternally shine.
