Baptist Hymnal 1991 ‎#525

525. 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 heav'nly King
May speak their joys abroad.

3. The hill of Zion yields
A thousand sacred sweets,
Before we reach the heav'nly fields,
Or walk the golden streets.

4. Then let our songs abound,
And ev'ry tear be dry;
We're marching thro' Immanuel's ground,
To fairer worlds on high.
