Christians, Come, in Sweetest Measures
VERSE 1
Christians,
come, in sweetest measures
Sing of
those who spread the treasures
In the
holy Gospels shrined;
Blessed
tidings of salvation,
Peace on
earth their proclamation,
Love
from God to lost mankind.
VERSE 2
See the
rivers four that gladden
With
their streams the better Eden,
Planted
by our Savior dear.
Christ
the Fountain, these the waters,
Drink, O
Zion’s sons and daughters;
Drink
and find salvation here.
VERSE 3
Here our
souls, by Jesus sated,
More and
more shall be translated
Earth’s
temptations far above;
Freed
from sin’s abhorred dominion,
Soaring
on angelic pinion,
They
shall reach the Source of love.
VERSE 4
Then
shall thanks and praise ascending
For Thy
mercies without ending
Rise to
Thee, O Savior blest.
With Thy
gracious aid defend us,
Let Thy
guiding light attend us,
Bring us
to Thy place of rest.
