770. Come Ye that Love the Lord

1 Come ye that love the Lord,
And let your joys be known;
Join in a song with sweet accord
Join in a song with sweet accord
While ye surround the throne,
While ye surround the throne,
While ye surround the throne.

2 Let those refuse to sing,
Who never knew our God;
But children of the heav'nly King,
But children of the heav'nly King,
Shall speak their joys abroad,
Shall speak their joys abroad,
Shall speak their joys abroad.

3 This aweful God is ours,
Our Father and our Love;
He will send down His heav'nly pow'rs,
He will send down His heav'nly pow'rs
To carry us above,
To carry us above,
To carry us above.

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

Amen.
