1 Come, join, ye saints, with heart and voice,
Alone in Jesus to rejoice,

Come, take his praises on your tongues,
And raise to him your thankful songs,
In him ye are complete!
2 In him, who all our praise excels,
The fullness of the Godhead dwells,
And all perfections meet:
The head of all celestial powers,
Divinely theirs, divinely ours:
In him ye are complete!
3 Still onward urge your heavenly way,
Dependent on him day by day,
His presence still entreat;
His precious name for ever bless,
Your glory, strength, and righteousness:
In him ye are complete!
