Text:Come, let us sing of Jesus
Author:Rev. George Washington Bethune, 1805-1862
Tune:BETHUNE
Composer:E. C. Zartman

71. Come, let us sing of Jesus

1 Come, let us sing of Jesus,
While hearts and accents blend;
Come, let us sing of Jesus,
The sinner’s only Friend.

Refrain:
All glory, praise and honor
To Thee, Redeemer, King!
To whom the lips of children
Made sweet hosannas ring.

2 His holy soul rejoices,
Amid the choirs above,
To hear our youthful voices
Exulting in His love. [Refrain]

3 We love to sing of Jesus,
Who died our souls to save;
We love to sing of Jesus,
Triumphant o’er the grave. [Refrain]

4 And in our hour of danger,
We’ll trust His love alone,
Who once slept in a manger,
And now sits on the throne. [Refrain]
