Come, dearest Lord, who reigns above,
And draw me with the cords of love!
And while the gospel does abound,
O may I know the joyful sound!
Sweet are the tidings, free the grace,
it brings to our apostate race;
It spreads a heavenly light‘ around,
O may I know the joyful sound!
The gospel bids the sin-sick soul
Look up to Jesus and be whole:
In him are peace and pardon found;
O may I know the gospel sound!
It stems the tide of swelling grief,
Affords the needy sure relief;
Releases those by satan bound,
O may I know the joyful sound!
---Alternative verses---
Come, dearest Lord, who reign'st above,
And draw me with the cords of love!
And while the gospel does abound,
O may I know the joyful sound!
