Hymn 447
Come, we that love the Lord
1 Come, we that love the Lord,
and let our joys be known;
join in a song with sweet accord,
and thus surround the throne.
2 Let those refuse to sing
who never knew our God;
but children of the heavenly King
may speak their joys abroad.
3 The men of grace have found, Glory begun below, Celestial fruits on earthly ground, From faith and hope may grow.
4 The hill of Zion yields
a thousand sacred sweets
before we reach the heavenly fields,
or walk the golden streets.
5 There shall we see His face, And never, never sin, There from the rivers of His grace, Drink endless pleasures in.
6 Then let our songs abound,
and every tear be dry;
we're marching through Emmanuel's ground
to fairer worlds on high.
