Come, Every Pious Heart

Author: Samuel Stennett Meter: 6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 215 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Come, every pious heart, That loves the Savior’s name, Your noblest powers exert To celebrate His fame; Tell all above, and all below; That debt of love to Him you owe. 2. He left His starry crown, And laid His robes aside; On wings of love came down, And wept, and bled, and died: What He endured, O who can tell, To save our souls from death and hell! 3. From the dark grave He rose; The mansions of the dead, And thence His mighty foes In glorious triumph led; Up through the sky the conqueror rode; And reigns on high, the Savior God. 4. From thence He’ll quickly come, His chariot will not stay, And bear our spirits home To realms of endless day; There shall we see His lovely face And ever be in His embrace. 5. Jesus, we ne’er can pay The debt we owe Thy love; Yet tell us how we may Our gratitude approve; Our hearts, our all to Thee we give; The gift, though small, Thou wilt receive.

The covenant we this moment make be ever kept in mind; We will no more our God forsake, or cast these words behind. We never will throw off the fear of God who hears our vow; And if Thou art well pleased to hear, come down and meet us now. 3.
