Come let sing to Jesus
While hearts and accents blend
Come. let us sing Of Jesus
The sinners only friend.
His holy soul rejoices
Amid the choirs above.
To hear youthful voices
Exulting in his love.
We love to sing of Jesus,
Who wept our path along
We love to sing Of Jesus,
The tempted and the strong;
None who besought his healing,
He passed unheeded by
And still retains his feeling
For us above the sky.
Wig love to sing Of Jesus,
Who died our souls to
We love to sing Of Jesus,
Triumphant DER the grave
And In our hour Of danger
Well trust his love alone
Who once slept in manger,
And now sits on the throne.
Then let us sing of Jesus,
While yet earth stay,
And hope to sing of Jesus
Throughout eternal day;
For those who here confess him,
He will in heaven confess
And faithful hearts that bless him,
lie will for ever bless.
