Come Gather You Saints of the Lord

Lyrics

Verse 1
Come gather, you saints of the Lord 
Come open your hearts, receive his Word, 
His Table is spread out with joy! 
Come lift your voice and worship the Lord!

Verse 2
Come gather, He cares for the weak, 
He binds up our wounds, He knows our needs, 
Our Savior has carried our griefs! 
Come lift your voice and worship the Lord!

Chorus
Rejoice!  Lift up your voice! 
Rejoice!  Rise up and sing 
Loud praises to Christ our King!

Verse 3
Come gather, He welcomes the lost, 
He bore all our sins, He paid the cost, 
Behold now His love on the cross! 
Come lift your voice and worship the Lord!

Verse 4
Come gather with all the redeemed, 
With angels and saints, with Christ our King, 
In glory, from sin we’ll be free! 
Come lift your voice and worship the Lord!

About This Hymn

When we gather together to worship as God's people, God promises to meet us through the Word and Table.  We come with great need to our great God who promises to put us back together through the work of Jesus and the ongoing ministry of the Holy Spirit.  He knows our needs, he welcomes the lost, he bore our sins on the cross.  What else can this inspire in us than songs of loudest praise?  So we lift up our voices with loud praises to Jesus as we sing with angels and saints perfected above.
