Come, Ye Children of the Lord

Come, ye children of the Lord,
 Let us sing with one accord,
 Let us raise a joyful strain
 To our Lord, Who soon will reign
 On this earth, when it shall be
 Cleansed from all iniquity;
 When all men from sin will cease,
 And will live in love and peace.
 O, how joyful it will be
 When our Savior we shall see!
 When in splendor He'll descend,
 Then all wickedness shall end.
 O what songs we then will sing
 To our Savior, Lord and King!
 O what love will then bear sway,
 When our fears shall flee away!
 All arrayed in spotless white,
 We will dwell amid truth and light.
 We will sing the songs of praise;
 We will shout in joyous lays.
 Earth shall then be cleansed from sin.
 Every living thing therein
 Shall in love and beauty dwell;
 Then with joy each heart will swell.
