Come, ye that love the Saviour's name

1Come, ye that love the Saviour's name,
And joy to make it known,
The Sovereign of your hearts proclaim,
And bow before his throne.

2Behold, your Lord, your Master, crowned
With glories all divine,
And tell the wondering nations round
How bright those glories shine.

3When in his earthly courts we wait,
The glories of our King,
We long to love as angels do,
And wish like them to sing.

4And shall we long and wish in vain?
Lord, teach our songs to rise:
Thy love can animate the strain,
And bid it reach the skies.

5Since thou art ours, most gracious Lord,
Can hope and comfort die?
We'll trust in thine almighty word,
That heals the earth and sky.
