1.
Come,
ye
that
love
the
Lord,
And
let
your
joys
be
known;
Join
in
a
song
with
sweet
accord,
While
ye
surround
His
throne,
While
ye
surround
His
throne.
2.
Let
those
re-fuse
to
sing
Who
nev-er
knew
our
God,
But
serv-ants
of
the
heav'nly
King
May
speak
their
joys
abroad,
May
speak
their
joys
a-broad.

Ce-les-tial

ground
From
faith
and
hope
may
grow,
