Come, join the glorious Gospel band,
And sing redeeming love;
Let praises to our God and king
Ascend to Heav’n above.
Refrain
Come, sing His love,
Come, sing His love,
Come sing redeeming love.
Come, sing the blessèd Savior’s name:
Rejoice to make it known;
His love through all the world proclaim;
His mercy freely own.
Refrain
How precious is that love divine
By Jesus freely giv’n!
It cheers the soul, the heart, the mind,
And helps us on to Heav’n.
