Come, let us away, to Jesus, His Throne

Verse 1
Come, let us away
To Jesus, his Throne,
On this happy Day
That made our Hearts One,
With Prayer and Thanksgiving
Acknowledge his Grace,
Delightfully living
To Jesus’s Praise.

Verse 2
His Counsel we see;
Together we came
That Both might agree
In Praise of the Lamb,
In close Imitation
Of Him we adore
And in His Salvation
Rejoice evermore.

Verse 3
Then let us lift up
Our Voices and Hearts,
Rejoicing in Hope
Till Mercy imparts
That Seal of His Favour
Who brings us to GOD,
Renew’d in the Laver
Of Jesus’s Blood.

Verse 4
O Jesus, appear
Thy Blood to apply,
And hallow us here,
And fit for the Sky,
To glorious Salvation
Our Spirits receive
In full Consummation
Of Rapture to live.
