Come, and Let Us Sweetly Join
mf
Come, and let us sweetly join Christ to praise in hymns divine; Give we all, with one accord, Glory to-our common Lord.
f
Hands, and hearts, voices raise; Sing as in the ancient days; Antedate the joys above, Celebrate the feast of love.
cr
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, Sav'd with them from ffuture wrath, Partners of like precious faith.
Sing we then in Jesus' name, Now as yesterdays the same; ONe in every time and place, Full for all of truth and grace.
We for Christ, our Master, stand, Lights in a benighted land: We our dying Lord confess; We are Jesus' witnesses.
Witnesses that Cchrist hath died, We with Him are crucified; Christ hath burst the bands of death, We His quick'ning Spirit breathe.
