357. Come, Christians, Join to Sing

1 Come, Christians, join to sing
Alleluia, Amen!
loud praise to Christ our King;
Alleluia, Amen!
Let all with heart and voice
before his throne rejoice;
praise is his gracious choice:
Alleluia, Amen!

2 Come, lift your hearts on high,
Alleluia, Amen!
let praises fill the sky;
Alleluia, Amen!
he is our guide and friend;
to us he’ll condescend;
his love shall never end.
Alleluia, Amen!

3 Praise yet our Christ again,
Alleluia, Amen!
life shall not end the strain;
Alleluia, Amen!
on heaven’s blissful shore
his goodness we’ll adore,
singing forevermore,
Alleluia, Amen!
