Come, all ye people,
Come join with saints and angels;
Sound forth the praises
Of Christ our Lord, once crucified.
Sing of His glory,
His Gospel preach in every land
Till all the nations shall crown Him
King eternal.
Speak of His love,
Of His love for all mankind;
Tell how He loved, how He died,
How He lives and reigns forevermore.
Speak of His love,
Of His love for all mankind;
Tell how He loved, how He died,
How He lives and reigns forevermore.
Praise we the Lord,
Tho’ a host should encamp against us;
In His love, by His power,
He shall save us—
His name shall we praise forever.
