VERSE 1

G                      D 
Come, we that love the Lord,

G       D7       G  D 
and let our joys be known;

     G    D         G 
join in a song with sweet accord,

    C       G     D7  G 
and thus surround the throne.

VERSE 2

G                   D 
Let those refuse to sing

G      D7      G   D 
who never knew our God;

    G        D      G 
but children of the heav'nly King

    C           G    D7 G 
may speak their joys abroad.

VERSE 3

G                     D 
The men of grace have found

G     D7    G D 
glory begun below;

   G      D         G 
celestial fruits on earthly ground

     C         G    D7  G 
from faith and hope may grow.

VERSE 4

G                D 
The hill of Zion yields

G     D7     G    D 
a thousand sacred sweets,

  G       D         G 
before we reach the heav'nly fields,

   C        G   D7 G 
or walk the golden streets.

VERSE 5

G                   D 
Then let our songs abound

G      D7      G  D 
and every tear be dry;

      G        D         G 
we're marching through Emmanuel's ground

   C      G      D7 G 
to fairer worlds on high.
