Verse 1
Come, let us our good God proclaim,
By earth and heaven ador’d;
Children are bid to praise his name,
And magnify the Lord.

Verse 2
Let us with all his saints agree,
With all his hosts above,
Part of his family are we,
His family of love.

Verse 3
Worthless are our best offerings,
Our songs are void of art,
Yet God accepts the smallest things
Given with a willing heart.

Verse 4
Us for the sake of Christ he loves,
Who did our souls redeem,
And all our childish thoughts approves,
When offer’d up thro’ him.

Verse 5
He makes us his peculiar care,
While by his Spirit led;
We all his genuine children are,
And on his bounty feed.

Verse 6
Though men despise our infancy,
Angels attend our ways,
They wait on us,[1] yet always see
Our heavenly Father’s face.

Verse 7
Surrounded by a flaming host,
The bright cherubic powers;
Not all the kings of earth can boast
Of such a guard as ours.

Verse 8
And while th’ angelic army sings,
With them we feebly join
T’ extol the glorious King of kings,
The majesty divine!
