Lyrics

1. Come, your hearts and voices raising, Christ the Lord with gladness praising; Loudly sing His love amazing, Worthy folk of Christendom.

2. Sin and death may well be groaning, Satan now may well be moaning; We, our full salvation owning, Cast our every care away.

3. See how God, for us providing, Gave His Son and life abiding; He our weary steps is guiding From earth's woe to heav'nly joy.

4. Christ, from heav'n to us descending And in love our race befriending, In our need His help extending, Saved us from the wily Foe.
