If
ye
loved
me,
ye
would
rejoice,

And

joice
in
the
day
thou
wast
born;
On

And

We
have
laid
up
our
love
and
our
treasure
above,
Though
our
bodies
continue
below,
The
redeemed
of
the
Lord
will
remember
his
word,
And
with
singing
to
paradise
go.
3
Now
with
singing
and
praise,
let
us
spend
all
the
days,
By
our
heavenly
Father
bestowed,
While
his
grace
we
receive
from
his
bounty,
and
live
To
the
honour
and
glory
of
God.
4
For
the
glory
we
were
first
created
to
share,
Both
the
nature
and
kingdom
divine!
Now
created
again
that
our
souls
may
remain,
Throughout
time
and
eternity
thine.
5
We
with
thanks
do
approve,
the
design
of
that
love
Which
hath
joined
us
to
Jesus'
name;
So
united
in
heart,
let
us
never
more
part,
Till
we
meet
at
the
feast
of
the
Lamb.
6
There,
Oh!
there
at
his
feet,
we
shall
all
likewise
meet,
And
be
parted
in
body
no
more;
We
shall
sing
to
ours
lyres,
with
the
heavenly
choirs.
And
our
Saviour
in
glory
adore.
7
Hallelujah
we
sing,
to
our
Father
and
King,
And
his
rapturous
praises
repeat,
To
the
Lamb
that
was
slain,
hallelujah
again,
Sing,
all
heaven,
and
fall
at
his
feet.
This
tune
is
credited
to
Mr.
Humphries
in
the
"Sacred
Harp"
by
White
and
King
in
1844,
and
all
subsequent
revisions;
also
on
page
88
of
the
"Southern
Harmony
by
Walker,
1835
and
1849.
It
is
probably
one
of
the
old
American
tunes
of
much
earlier
date
than
when
first
in
the
"
Southern
Harmony.
The
same
has
been
used
in
all
of
the
books
above
named.
