Come, we who love the Lord,
And let our joys be known:
Join in a song with sweet accord
And thus surround the throne.
Come, we that love the LORD,, Stanza 1

Let those refuse to sing
Who never knew our God;
But servants of the heav'nly King
May speak their joys abroad.
Come, we that love the LORD,, Stanza 3

The God that rules on high,
That all the earth surveys,
That rides upon the stormy sky,
And calms the roaring sea.
Come, we that love the LORD,, Stanza 4
