LyicsCOME, you that love the Saviour's name,
And joy to make it known,
The Sovereign of your hearts proclaim,
And bow before his throne.
Behold your King, your Saviour, crowned
With glories all divine;
And tell the wondering nations round
How bright these glories shine.
Infinite power and boundless grace
In him unite their rays;
You that have seen his lovely face,
Can you forbear his praise?
When in the earthly courts we view
The beauties of our King,
We long to love as angels do,
And wish like them to sing.
And shall we long and wish in vain?
Lord, teach our songs to rise!
Thy love can animate our strain,
And bid it reach the skies.
