Hymns, no. 23
Come, Ye Children of the Lord

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. O how joyful it will be, When our Savior we shall see! When in splendor he’ll descend, Then all wickedness will end. O what songs we then will sing To our Savior, Lord and King! O 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.
