355: COME, ye that love the Lord

355: COME, ye that love the Lord

by I Watts (1674-1748)

1 COME, ye that love the Lord,
And let your joys be known;
Join in a song with sweet accord,
And thus approach the throne.

2 Let those refuse to sing
Who never knew our God;
But children should their praises bring
And speak their joys abroad.

3 The God who rules on high
And all the earth surveys,
Who rides upon the stormy sky
And calms the roaring seas,

4 This sovereign God is ours,
A God of boundless love;
Whose faithful grace and mighty powers
Shall carry us above.

5 There we shall see His face,
And never, never sin;
There from the fountain of His grace
Drink endless pleasures in.
