184a. Come, let us sing of heaven above

1 Come, let us sing of heaven above,
Our glorious, happy home,
Where dwells the Saviour whom we love,
And who has bid us come.
Oh, that is joyful, joyful, joyful!
Oh, that is joyful,
That Jesus bids us come
To dwell with him above,
And sing the everlasting song
Of his redeeming love.

2 Angels are there around the throne,
Sweet notes of praise they sing:
All glory to our God alone,
And to our Saviour-King.
Oh, that is joyful, joyful, joyful!
Oh, that is joyful,
That Jesus bids us come
To dwell with him above,
And sing the everlasting song
Of his redeeming love.

3 And children join the glorious song,
Who once lived here below:
But now, amid that sinless throng,
They no more sorrow know.
Oh, that is joyful, joyful, joyful!
Oh, that is joyful,
That Jesus bids us come
To dwell with him above,
And sing the everlasting song
Of his redeeming love.

4 'Twas Jesus died that we might gain
This glorious, happy home;
For us he suffer'd grief and pain,
And therefore bids us come.
Oh, that is joyful, joyful, joyful!
Oh, that is joyful,
That Jesus bids us come
To dwell with him above,
And sing the everlasting song
Of his redeeming love.
