Come humble souls, ye mourners come
And wipe away your tears;
Adieu to all your sad complaints,
Your sorrows and your fears.
God, the eternal, mighty God,
To dearer names descends:
Calls you his treasure and his joy,
His children and his friends.
My Father God! and may these lips
Pronounce a name so dear!
Not thus could heaven’s sweet harmony
Delight my listening ear.
Come shout aloud the Father's grace,
And sing the Saviour's love;
Soon shall you join the glorious theme,
In loftier strains above.
Thanks to my God for every gift
His bounteous hands bestow;
And thanks eternal for that love
Whence all those comforts flow.
Forever let my grateful heart
His boundless grace adore,
Which gives ten thousand blessings now,
And bids me hope for more.
Transporting hope! Still in my soul
Let thy sweet glories shine,
Till thou thyself art lost in joys,
Immortal and divine!
---Alternative verses---
Come shout aloud the Father's grace,
The Saviour's dying love;
Soon shall you join the glorious theme,
In loftier strains above.
Transporting hope! Still in my soul
With radiant glories shine,
Till thou thyself art lost in joys,
Immortal and divine!
