Come, Ye Children of the Lord

Come

ye child­ren of the Lord

Let us sing with one ac­cord

Let us raise a joy­ful strain

To our Lord

who soon will reign

On this earth

when it shall be

Cleansed from all ini­qui­ty;

When all men from sin will cease

And will live in love and peace.

O

how joy­ful it will be

When our Sav­ior we shall see!

When in splen­dor He’ll des­cend

Then all wick­ed­ness shall end.

O what songs we then will sing

To our Sav­ior

Lord and king!

O what love will then bear sway

When our fears shall flee away!

All ar­rayed in spot­less white

We will dwell ’mid truth and light.

We will sing the songs of praise;

We will shout in joy­ous lays.

Earth shall then be cleansed from sin.

Every liv­ing thing there­in

Shall in love and beau­ty dwell;

Then with joy each heart will swell.
