Lyics

Come, we that love the Lord,

And let our joys be known;

Join in a song with sweet ac-cord,

And thus surround the throne.

The sor-rows of the mind

Be banished from this place! 

Re-lig-ion nev-er was de-signed 

To make our pleas-ures less.



The hill of Zion yields

A thousand sacred sweets,

Before we reach the heavenly fields,

Or walk the golden streets.

Then let our songs abound,

And every tear be dry;

We're marching o'er this hallowed ground

To fairer worlds on high.
