Author: Joseph Swain Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Come, lift your joyous eyes
To yonder heav’nly place.
Where, freed from sin, your souls shall rise,
And sing redeeming grace.
2 Though death and hell may frown,
And charge the saints with guilt;
Yet death and hell shall ne’er pull down
The Church which Christ has built.
3 To Sion’s blissful shore,
As on our way we go,
While hallelujahs sound before,
’Tis Heav’n begun below.
4 Then cast your willows down;
List up your hearts and sing,
Till Christ your heads with glory crown,
And make each saint a king. Used With Tune: SILVER STREET Text Sources: Walworth Hymns (London: J. Matthews, 1792)
Come, Lift Your Joyous Eyes
