Hymn 602
Come, and let us sweetly join
- mf Come, and let us sweetly join
Christ to praise in hymns divine;
Give we all, with one accord.
Glory to our common Lord.
- f Hands, and hearts, and voices,, raise;
Sing as in the ancient days;
Antedate the joys above.
Celebrate the fea.st of love.
- Strive we, in affection strive;
cr Let the purer flame revive.
Such as in the martyrs glowed.
Dying champions for their God.
- We, like them, may live and love;
Called we are their joys to prove,
Sav'd with them from future wrath.
Partners of like precious faith.
- f Sing we then in Jesus' name.
Now as yesterday the same;
One in every time and place.
Full for all of truth and grace.
- We for Christ, our Master, stand.
Lights in a benighted land:
We our dying Lord confess;
We are Jesus' witnesses.
- f Witnesses that ChrLst hath died.
We with Him are crucified;
Christ hath burst the bands of death.
We His quick'ning Spirit breathe.
- f Christ is now gone up on high.
Thither all our wishes fly;
Sits at God's right hand above.
There with Him we reign in love.
