|
|
<p>Come away to the skies, my belovèd, arise<br>
|
|
And rejoice in the day thou wast born;<br>
|
|
On this festival day, come exulting away,<br>
|
|
And with singing to Zion return.</p>
|
|
<p>Now with singing and praise let us spend all the days<br>
|
|
By our heavenly Father bestowed,<br>
|
|
While His grace we receive from His bounty, and live<br>
|
|
To the honor and glory of God!</p>
|
|
<p>For the glory we were first created to share,<br>
|
|
Both the nature and kingdom divine,<br>
|
|
Now created again that our lives may remain<br>
|
|
Throughout time and eternity Thine.</p>
|
|
<p>We with thanks do approve the design<br>
|
|
Of that love that hath joined us to Jesus’ Name;<br>
|
|
Now united in heart, let us never more part,<br>
|
|
Till we meet at the feast of the Lamb.</p>
|
|
<p>Hallelujah! we sing to our Father and King,<br>
|
|
And His rapturous praises repeat:<br>
|
|
To the Lamb that was slain, Hallelujah again!<br>
|
|
Sing all heaven and fall at His feet!</p>
