Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1,797 hymnals Scripture: Nehemiah 8:10 Lyrics: 1 Come, we that love the Lord,
And let our joys be known;
Join in a song with sweet accord,
And thus surround the throne.
2 Let those refuse to sing
Who never knew our God;
But children of the heavenly King
Should speak their joys abroad.
3 The men of grace have found
Glory begun below;
Celestial fruits on earthly ground
From faith and hope may grow.
4 The hill of Zion yields
A thousand sacred sweets
Before we reach the heavenly fields,
Or walk the golden streets.
5 Then let our songs abound,
And every tear be dry;
We're marching through Emmanuel's ground
To fairer worlds on high.
Amen. Topics: Cheerfulness; Joy; Processionals; Life in Christ Joy Used With Tune: ST. THOMAS
