617. Unite and Join Your Cheerful Songs

1 Unite and join your cheerful songs,
with angels 'round the throne;
Ten thousand thousand are their tongues,
yet all their joys are one.

2 This is the way the church should strive,
in harmony below;
As members of one body live,
on Sovereign shall you know.

3 Worthy the Lamb, the angels say,
to be exalted thus;
Amen, amen the saints reply,
the Lamb was slain for us.

4 Assist us, all above the sky,
on earth and on the seas;
Unite and raise God's honors high,
in hymns of endless praise.
