Come ye Church, Rejoicing!

Original tune: Ring the Bells of Heaven; George F. Root, 1820-1895

Come ye Church, rejoicing! Gather with the saints.
Sing unto the Lord with all your heart!
Greet each other gladly; show humility,
Preach the holy truth that sets men free.

Refrain: Praise Him, Praise Him, let your voices ring.
Hail Him; Hail Him as the Sovereign King.
Come ye Church, rejoicing to the wedding feast
Christ for us has won the victory.

Go, encourage others; help them on the way.
Pray for peace and hunger for the word.
Go, prepare the table; take the wine and bread.
Follow Christ the true and living head.

Refrain:

Come ye Church, rejoicing! Gather in the fields.
Reap the harvest chosen in the Lord.
Sing for joy ye ransomed, Christ returns for you.
Lift your eyes, His glory to pursue.

Refrain:
