Come, We That Love the Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1,809 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Come, we that love the Lord, And let our joys be known; Join in a song with sweet accord, And thus surround the throne. 2. Let those refuse to sing Who never knew our God; But children of the heav'nly King May speak their joys abroad. 3. The hill of Zion yields A thousand sacred sweets, Before we reach the heav'nly fields, Or walk the golden streets. 4. Then let our songs abound, And ev'ry tear be dry; We're marching thro' Immanuel's ground, To fairer worlds on high. Scripture: Ephesians 5:20 Used With Tune: FESTAL SONG

Death! 'Tis An Awful Word

Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Death! ’tis an awful word Lyrics: 1 Death! ’tis an awful word, And fills the mind with fear; But joyful is a dying bed, If Thou, oh God, art near. 2 Let but my numerous sins Behind Thy back be cast. The poisonous sting of death is gone, The bitterness is past. 3 To unbelieving man, Wrath quickly follows death; The dreaded portion he receives, When he resigns his breath. 4 To mortals all around, He looks for help in vain; Nor means, nor ministers, nor friends Can mitigate his pain. 5 But let sufficient grace In my last hours be giv’n, Twill spread a luster over death, And be the dawn of Heav’n.
