Come, Every Pious Heart
VERSE 1
Come,
every pious heart,
That
loves the Savior’s Name,
Your
noblest powers exert
To
celebrate His fame;
Tell all
above, and all below;
That
debt of love to Him you owe.
VERSE 2
He left
His starry crown,
And laid
His robes aside;
On wings
of love came down,
And
wept, and bled, and died:
What He
endured, O who can tell,
To save
our souls from death and hell!
VERSE 3
From the
dark grave He rose;
The
mansions of the dead,
And
thence His mighty foes
In
glorious triumph led;
Up
through the sky the Conqueror rode;
And
reigns on High, the Savior God.
VERSE 4
From
thence He’ll quickly come,
His
chariot will not stay,
And bear
our spirits home
To
realms of endless day;
There
shall we see His lovely face
And ever
be in His embrace.
VERSE 5
Jesus,
we ne’er can pay
The debt
we owe Thy love;
Yet tell
us how we may
Our
gratitude approve;
Our
hearts, our all to Thee we give;
The
gift, though small, Thou wilt receive.
