Come, Ye Children of the Lord

Joyfully

1. 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

2. Oh, how joyful it will be

When our Savior we shall see

When in splendor He’ll descend

Then all wickedness will end

Oh, what songs we then will sing

To our Savior, Lord and King

Oh, what love will then bear sway

When our fears shall flee away

3. 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

Ev’ry living thing therein

Shall in love and beauty dwell

Then with joy each heart will swell

Come, ye children of the Lord

Let us sing with one accord
