Come, and let us sweetly join
1
Come, and let us sweetly join,Christ to praise in hymns divine;Give we all with one accordGlory to our common Lord;Hands, and hearts, and voices raise,Sing as in the ancient days,Antedate the joys above,Celebrate the feast of love.
2
Strive we, in affection strive,Let the purer flame revive,Such as in the martyrs glowed,Dying champions for their God:We like them may live and love;Called we are their joys to prove,Saved with them from future wrath,Partners of like precious faith.
3
Sing we, then, in Jesus' name,Now as yesterday the same;One in every time and place,Full of love, and truth, and grace:We for Christ, our Master, stand,Lights in a benighted land;We our dying Lord confess;We are Jesus' witnesses.
