Text:Come, ye that fear the Lord
Author:James Montgomery
Tune:ST. THOMAS
Composer:George F. Handel

13. Come, ye that fear the Lord

1 Come, ye that fear the Lord,
And love him while ye fear,
Come, and with heart and hand record
Your vow and covenant here.

2 Here to his altar brought,
Your holy vows renew,
To be in heart, and deed, and thought,
Faithful to him, and true.

3 And true and faithful he
To you will ever prove,
Though hills were swept into the sea,
And mountains should remove.

4 Then be his paths your choice,
The joy of young and old;
As sheep that hear their shepherd's voice,
And follow to the fold.
