Come, Christians, Join to Sing

Text written by Christian Henry Bateman (1813-1889)

Sung to MADRID, source unknown, arranged by David Evans (1874-1948)

Psalm 97:1 The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad;

let the distant shores rejoice.

V. 1 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!

Jeremiah 31:3 The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness."

V. 2 Come, lift your hearts on high;

Alleluia! Amen!

Let praises fill the sky;

Alleluia! Amen!He is our Guide and Friend;

To us He'll condescend;

His love shall never end:

Alleluia! Amen!

Revelation 19:1 After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting: “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God."

V. 3 Praise yet our Christ again;

Alleluia! Amen!

Life shall not end the strain;

Alleluia! Amen!On heaven's blissful shore

His goodness we'll adore,

Singing forevermore,

Alleluia! Amen!
