15511. Come With Gladness

1 Come with gladness, come with gladness,
Songs of praise and homage sing;
Wide unfurl His royal banners,
Loud proclaim the Savior, King!
Proclaim Him Lord and King!
We come, we come,
We come with songs of praise;
We come, we come with songs of praise,
Proclaiming Christ our king!
We come, we come,
We come with songs of praise;
We come, we come with songs of praise,
Proclaiming Christ our king!

2 Fairest flowers intertwining,
Purest blossoms of the spring,
Weave we into crowns of beauty,
For the brow of Christ our king,
The brow of Christ our king!
We come, we come,
We come with sweetest flowers;
We come, we come, with sweetest flowers,
To crown Him Lord and king!
We come, we come,
We come with sweetest flowers;
We come, we come, with sweetest flowers;
To crown Him Lord and king!

3 Willing hearts and cheerful voices
To His temple courts we bring;
His we are, and His forever,
Loyal subjects of our king,
Our Savior, Lord, and king!
We come, we come,
We come with willing hearts,
We come, we come, with willing hearts,
To serve our Lord and king!
We come, we come,
We come with willing hearts,
We come, we come, with willing hearts,
To serve our Lord and king!

4 Join we then the mighty chorus,
Earth and Heaven with praises ring;
“Halelujah! Halelujah!
Glory to the Lord, our king!
All glory to our king!”
Sing on, sing on,
Sing on in endless strain;
Sing on, sing on in endless strain,
Hosanna to our king!
Sing on, sing on,
Sing on in endless strain;
Sing on, sing on in endless strain,
Hosanna to our king!
