Come, Come, Ye Saints
Come, Come, Ye Saints
1. Come, come, ye Saints, no toil nor labor fear,But with joy wend your way;Tho’ hard to you this journey may appear,Grace shall be as your day,’Tis better far for us to striveOur useless cares from us to drive;Do this, and joy your hearts will swellAll is well! All is well!
2. Why should we mourn, or think our lot is hard?’Tis not so, all is right!Why should we think to earn a great reward.If we now shun the fight?Gird up your loins, fresh courage take,Our God will never us forsake;And soon we’ll have this truth to tellAll is well! All is well!
3. We’ll find the place which God for us prepared,far away in the West;Where none shall come to hurt or make afraid;There the Saints will be bless’d,We’ll make the air with music ringShout praises to our God and King;Above the rest these words we’ll tellAll is well! All is well!
4. And should we die before our journey’s throughHappy day! All is well!We are then free from toil and sorrow too;With the just we shall droell.But if our lives are spared againTo see the Saints, their rest obtain,O how we’ll make this Chorus swellAll is well! All is well!
