Come, tune your heart,

To bear its part,

And celebrate Messiah’s feast with praises;

Let love inspire

The joyful choir,

While to the God of love glad hymns it raises.

Exalt his name!

With joy proclaim,

God loved the world, and through his Son forgave us;

Oh! what are we,

That, Lord, we see

Thy wondrous love, in Christ who died to save us!

Behold our Friend

His love commend,

In that when foes he died to reconcile us;

Our flesh he took,

His throne forsook,

That from his kingdom God might not exile us.

Your refuge place

In his free grace,

Trust in his name, and day by day repent you;

Ye mock God’s word,

Who call him Lord,

And follow not the pattern He hath lent you.

O Christ, to prove

For Thee my love,

Thee in the poor I’ll clothe, and feed, and cherish;

To every heart

Sweet hope impart,

When worn with care, with sorrow nigh to perish.

Heaven and earth

Received their birth

From Thee, in whom both strength and wisdom blended;

Both heart and voice

In thee rejoice,

And every knee in grateful prayer is bended.

Then praise the Lord!

He’ll help afford,

And comfort him by whom his name’s esteemed;

Hallelujah!

Hallelujah!

Rejoice in Christ, and praise him ye redeemed!
