Come, we that love the Lord

Isaac Watts (1707) • English

Primary Scripture: Numbers 10:29

Verse 1

Come, we that love the Lord, and let our joys be known; join in a song with sweet accord, and thus surround the throne.

Verse 2

Let those refuse to sing who never knew our God; but children of the heav'nly King may speak their joys abroad.

The hill of Zion yields a thousand sacred sweets before we reach the heav'nly fields, or walk the golden streets.

Verse 4

Then let our songs abound, and every tear be dry; we're marching through Emmanuel's ground to fairer worlds on high.
