Zion Prepare

Come serve thy Lord, His word is true

Author: Genevieve Heiser
Published in 1 hymnal


Representative Text

1. Come serve the Lord, His word is true.
Thy courage strength in him renew
His praise and honor, love be shown,
Come trim your lamps, be his alone.

Refrain:
Oh happy we who work for Jesus and his cause.
Oh happy we who love him
And keep his holy laws.

2 His wisdom, vast, he maketh known
His counsel pure, he gives his own
For service true, he doth provide,
His peaceful Spirit as our guide. [Refrain]

3 He calls! We answer, here am I.
Go forth! Now hold his banner high
Through love and truth, his law apply
His holy name, to magnify. [Refrain]

4 In joy we share his gospel true
In work and song, we praise him too.
Through love and truth, his law apply
His holy name, to magnify. [Refrain]

5 Now sup with him in mighty prayer
Put on thy garments white with care
In holy ways, his message bear
The cause of Zion now prepare. [Refrain]
