XXV. Come, Christian friends, and hear me tell

1 Come, Christian friends, and hear me tell
The wonders of Immanuel,
He is the light of satins below,
Their strength and comfort from him flow.

2 Tho' all the world should spread its wings,
And tempt them with ten thousand things,
They can't forget that heav'nly love
Which brought a Savior from above.

3 For us he bow'd his awful head,
Down to the regions of the dead,
To take away our weighty guilt,
The Saviour's sacred blood was spilt.

4 Now hear his call, now hear him plead,
For us he lives to intercede;
He's left the tomb, ascended high
Above the curtains of the sky.

5 How charming is that heav'nly call,
The gospel sounding free to all.
Come sinners hear— and see, and taste
The joys which cannot be express'd.
