Words

Come, ye that love the Saviour's name,And joy to make it known,The Sovereign of your hearts proclaim,And bow before his throne.

Behold your Lord, your Master, crownedWith glories all divine,And tell the wondering nations roundHow bright those glories shine.

When in his earthly courts we viewThe glories of our King,We long to love as angels do,And wish like them to sing.

And shall we long and wish in vain?Lord, teach our songs to rise:Thy love can animate the strain,And bid it reach the skies.

Since thou art ours, most gracious Lord,Can hope and comfort die?We'll trust in thine almighty word,That built the earth and sky.
