- 1Come, let us to the Lord ouf God
- With contrite hearts return;
- Our God is gracious, nor will leave
- The desolate to mourn.
- 2His voice commands the tempest forth,
- And stills the stormy wave;
- And, tho' His arm be strong to smite,
- 'Tis also strong to save.
- 3Long hath the night of sorrow reigned;
- The dawn shall bring us light:
- God shall appear, and we shall rise
- With gladness in His sight.
- 4Our hearts, if God we seek to know,
- Shall know Him, and rejoice;
- His coming like the morn shall be,
- Like morning songs His voice.
- 5As dew upon the tender herb,
- Diffusing fragrance round,
- As show'rs that usher in the spring,
- And cheer the thirsty ground;
- 6So shall His presence bless our souls,
- And shed a joyful light;
- That hallowed morn shall chase away
- The sorrows of the night.
