Come, Christians, join to sing
Alleluia! Amen!
Loud praise to Christ our King;
Alleluia! Amen!
Let all with heart and voice,
Before His throne rejoice;
Praise is His gracious choice.
Alleluia! Amen!

Come, lift your hearts on high,
Alleluia! Amen!
Let praises fill the sky;
Alleluia! Amen!
King, Prophet, Priest, and Friend;
To us He’ll condescend;
His love shall never end.
Alleluia! Amen!

Alleluia! Amen!
Alleluia! Amen!
Alleluia! Amen!
Amen!

Praise yet our Christ again,
Alleluia! Amen!
Cease not your song’s refrain;
Alleluia! Amen!
On heaven’s blissful shore,
His goodness we’ll adore,
Singing forevermore,
Alleluia! Amen!

Alleluia! Amen!
Alleluia! Amen!
Alleluia! Amen!
Amen!
