Come O Church your Savior Jesus
worship Him now young and old.
Bow before your King the Victor,
rescued from the Devil’s hold.
Raise your voice, a Holy Priesthood,
God in you the Spirit dwells.
Sacrifice now is to praise him,
free from sin and death and hell.

Come O Church the Bride of Jesus
meet him ready, spotless, clean.
Transformed by the Spirit’s power,
washed and pure in everything.
Come O Church abide in Jesus,
bear the fruit of God above.
Pruned and growing ever higher,
sing of God’s amazing love!

Come O Church your head is Jesus
live in peace and unity.
To the world a loving witness
shining light for all to see.
Come O Church, cry Abba Father,
children of the heavenly King.
Brother, sister now adopted,
let your voice His praises ring!

Come O Church the Master calls you
share the gift of life and faith.
So that when this journey’s over,
life with Christ our Lord awaits.
Sing out loud – the hope of heaven,
shine its light from shore to shore.
Fear is gone and tears of sadness
changed to joy forevermore!
