Come, We that Love the Lord Isaac Watts (1674-1748)

ST. THOMAS (6.6.8.6.) Williams' Psalmody 1770

Come, we that love the Lord,
   And let our joys be known;
Join in a song with sweet ac-cord
   And thus sur-round the throne.

Let those re-fuse to sing
   Who ne-ver knew our God;
But chil-dren of the heaven-ly King
   May speak their joys a-broad.

The men of grace have found
   Glo-ry be-gun be-low;
Ce-les-tial fruits on earth-ly ground
   From faith and hope may grow.

The hill of Zi-on yields
   A thou-sand sa-cred sweets
Be-fore we reach the heaven-ly fields,
   Or walk the gold-en streets.

Then let our songs a-bound
   And ev-ery tear be dry;
We're march-ing through Em-man-uel's ground,
   To fair-er worlds on high.
