Come, let us join our cheerful songs

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #382 (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Come, let us join our cheerful songs with angels round the throne; ten thousand thousand are their tongues, but all their joys are one. 2 'Worthy the Lamb that died,' they cry, 'to be exalted thus;' 'Worthy the Lamb,' our lips reply, 'for he was slain for us.' 3 Jesus is worthy to receive honour and power divine; and blessings, more than we can give, be, Lord, for ever thine. 4 Let all creation join in one to bless the sacred name of him that sits upon the throne, and to adore the Lamb.

Come, let us sing of a wonderful love

Author: Robert Walmsley, 1831-1905 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #514 (2010) Meter: 10.4.10.7.4.10 Lyrics: 1 Come, let us sing of a wonderful love, tender and true, out of the heart of the Father above, streaming to me and to you: wonderful love dwells in the heart of the Father above. 2 Jesus, the Saviour, this gospel to tell, joyfully came, came with the helpless and hopeless to dwell, sharing their sorrow and shame; seeking the lost, saving, redeeming at measureless cost. 3 Jesus is seeking the wanderers yet; why do they roam, Love only waits to forgive and forget; home, weary wanderers, home! Wonderful love dwells in the heart of the Father above. 4 Come to my heart, O thou wonderful Love, come and abide, lifting my life till it rises above envy and falsehood and pride; seeking to be lowly and humble, a learner of thee.

Come, living God, when least expected

Author: Alan Gaunt, 1935- Hymnal: CPWI2010 #215 (2010) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Lyrics: 1 Come, living God, when least expected, when minds are dull and hearts are cold, through sharpening word and warm affection revealing truths as yet untold. 2 Break from the tomb in which we hide you to speak again in startling ways; break through the words in which we bind you to resurrect our lifeless praise. 3 Come now, as once you came to Moses within the bush alive with flame, or to Elijah on the mountain, by silence pressing home your claim. 4 So, let our minds be sharp to read you in sight or sound or printed page, and let us greet you in our neighbours, in ardent youth or mellow age. 5 Then, through our gloom, your Son will meet us as vivid truth and living Lord, exploding doubt and disillusion to scatter hope and joy abroad. 6 Then we will share his radiant brightness and, blazing through the dread of night, illuminate by love and reason, for those in darkness, faith's delight.

Author: George Wallace Briggs, 1875-1959 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #578 (2010) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Come, risen Lord, and deign to be our guest; nay, let us be thy guests; the feast is thine; thyself at thine own board make manifest, in thine own sacrament of bread and wine. 2 We meet as in that upper room they met; thou at the table, blessing, yet dost stand: 'This is my body': so thou givest yet; faith still receives the cup as from thy hand. 3 One body we, one body who partake, one church united in communion blessed; one name we bear, one bread of life we break, with all thy saints on earth and saints at rest. 4 One with each other, Lord, for one in thee, who art one Saviour and one living Head; then open thou our eyes, that we may see; be known to us in breaking of the bread.

Come see the place where Jesus lay

Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-c1854 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #167 (2010) Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Come, see the place where Jesus lay, and hear angelic watchers say, 'he lives, who once was slain: why seek the living 'midst the dead? Remember how the Saviour said that he would rise again.' 2 O joyful sound! O glorious hour, when by his own almighty power he rose, and left the grave! Now let our songs his triumph tell, who burst the bands of death and hell, and ever lives to save. 3 The First-Begotten of the dead, for us he rose, our glorious Head, immortal life to bring; what though the saints like him shall die, they share their Leader's victory, and triumph with their King. 4 No more they tremble at the grave, For Jesus will their spirits save, and raise their slumbering dust: O risen Lord, in thee we live, to thee our ransomed souls we give, to thee our bodies trust.

Come sing, ye choirs exultant

Author: Adam of St Victor; Jackson Mason, 1833-1889 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #810 (2010) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Come sing, ye choirs exultant, those messengers of God, through whom the living Gospels came sounding all abroad! Whose voice proclaimed salvation that poured upon the night, and drove away the shadows, and filled the world with light. 2 In one harmonious witness the chosen four combine, while each his own commission fulfills in every line; as, in the prophet's vision from out the amber flame in mystic form and image four living creatures came. 3 Foursquare on this foundation the church of Christ remains, a house to stand unshaken by floods or winds or rains. How blest the habitation of gospel liberty, where with a holy people God dwells in Unity. Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days Evangelists and Saints Languages: English Tune Title: PEARSALL

Come, thou fount of every blessing

Author: Robert Robinson, 1735-1790 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #463 (2010) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Come, thou fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing thy praise! Streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above. Praise the mount! Oh, fix me on it, mount of God’s unchanging love. 2 Here I find my greatest treasure; hither, by thy help, I’ve come; and I hope, by thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger wandering from the fold of God; he, to rescue me from danger, interposed his precious blood. 3 Oh, to grace how great a debtor daily I’m constrained to be! Let thy goodness, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to thee: prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love; here’s my heart, oh, take and seal it, seal it for thy courts above.

Gird on thy fleshly mantle now, the weakness of our mortal state with deathless might invigorate. 5 Thy cradle here shall glitter bright, and darkness glow with new-born light, no more shall night extinguish day, where love's bright beams their power display. 6 O Jesu, virgin-born, to thee eternal praise and glory be, whom with the Father we adore and Holy Spirit, evermore.
