Come Ye Redeemed

2009 · Words c. 1750 Joseph Hart; music © Zack Smith

Come ye redeemed of the Lord; your grateful tribute bring And celebrate with one accord the birthday of our King Yet us with humble hearts repair (faith will point out the road) To little Bethlehem and there adore our infant God In swaddling bands the savior view! Let none his weakness scorn! The feeblest heart shall hell subdue where Jesus Christ is born No pomp adorns, no sweets perfume where Jesus Christ is laid A stable serves him for his room; a manger is his bed The crowded inn, like sinners’ hearts (oh ignorance extreme) For other guests, of various sorts, had room, but none for him But see what different thoughts arise in our and angels’ breasts To hail his birth they left the skies; we lodged him with the beasts Yet let believers cease their fears, nor envy heavenly powers If sinless innocence be theirs, redemption all is ours
