Lyics

Come, ye that love the Lord,
And let your choice be known;
Join in a song with sweet accord,
And thus surround the throne.


Then let our songs abound,
And ev'ry tear be dry:
We're marching thro' Immanuel's ground
To fairer worlds on high.


The sorrows of the mind
Be banish'd from this place!
Religion never was design'd
To make our pleasures less.


Let those refuse to sing
Who never knew our God;
But servants of the heavenly King
May speak their joys abroad.


In heaven we'll see his face,

And never, never sin;
There, from the rivers of his grace,
Drink endless pleasures in.


Yes, and before we rise
To that immortal state,
The thoughts of such amazing bliss
Shall constant joys create.


The hill of Zion yields
A thousand sacred sweets
Before we reach the heavenly fields 
Or walk the golden streets.
