Altogether Lovely

Composer: George Root, 1883

Beautiful the fields be­yond the riv­er

Glorious the thou­sands ga­thered there

But who in Heav’n so full of grace and glo­ry

Who with Him

our Sav­ior

can com­pare?

Oh

He is the chief among ten thou­sand;

Roll His praise in joy­ful waves along;

For al­to­ge­ther

al­to­ge­ther love­ly

Shall for­ev­er be our hap­py song.

Altogether

al­to­ge­ther love­ly

He is call­ing ten­der­ly to thee;

My soul

why not ac­cept His great sal­va­tion

Offered now so rich

so full

so free?

Altogether

al­to­ge­ther love­ly

Hear His voice

how ten­der still the call;

Come

come

ye wea­ry ones and hea­vy la­den

Come to Me and let your bur­dens fall.
