Altogether Lovely

George F. Root • English

Primary Scripture: Song of Solomon 5:16

Verse 1

Beautiful the fields be­yond the ri­ver, Glorious the thou­sands ga­thered there, But who in Heav’n so full of grace and glo­ry, Who with Him, our Sav­ior, can com­pare?

Chorus

Oh, He is the chief among ten thou­sand; Roll His praise in joy­ful waves along; For al­to­ge­ther, al­to­ge­ther love­ly, Shall for­ev­er be our hap­py song.

Verse 2

Altogether, al­to­ge­ther love­ly, He is call­ing ten­der­ly to thee; My soul, why not ac­cept His great sal­va­tion, Offered now so rich, so full, so free?

Chorus

Oh, He is the chief among ten thou­sand; Roll His praise in joy­ful waves along; For al­to­ge­ther, al­to­ge­ther love­ly, Shall for­ev­er be our hap­py song.

Verse 3

Altogether, al­to­ge­ther love­ly, Hear His voice, how ten­der still the call; "Come, come, ye wea­ry ones and hea­vy la­den, Come to Me and let your bur­dens fall."

Chorus

Oh, He is the chief among ten thou­sand; Roll His praise in joy­ful waves along; For al­to­ge­ther, al­to­ge­ther love­ly, Shall for­ev­er be our hap­py song.
