Come, Let Us All with One Accord

Come

let us all with one ac­cord

Adore and mag­ni­fy the Lord

And fest­ive serv­ice pay.

On this the day that God hath blest

The day of peace and heav­en­ly rest

The Lord’s own ho­ly day.

That saw pri­me­val dark­ness break

And that more glo­ri­ous life awake

That last­eth ev­er­more.

That saw hell’s le­gions pros­trate fall

And Christ

tri­umph­ant over all

His own to Heav­en re­store.

This day the peace that flows from Heav­en

Was un­to the apos­tles gi­ven

When doors were closed at night.

This day the Ho­ly Spir­it’s flame

Upon the Church’s teach­ers came

And filled their souls with light.

Still on this day with trum­pet sound

The Gos­pel notes were ring­ing round

To call the world to pray.

Then on this day let us ad­ore

Our God and sup­pli­ca­tion pour

That

when worlds pass away

Through Christ’s dear grace our souls may rest

In peace and joy

for­ev­er blest

Till the great judg­ment day.
