733. 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;
Our needs he will attend;
His love shall never end.
Alleluia! Amen!

3 Praise yet the Lord 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!
