Verse 1

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

Verse 2

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

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 5

Jacob's Star in all its splendor Beams with
comfort sweet and tender, Forcing Satan
to surrender, Breaking all the pow'rs of hell.
