This is an updated and revised version of the hymn by Kevin Hartnett.

The original hymn can be found here. Kevin wrote a wonderful third verse that praises Christ in light of the gospel, and also updated and clarified a few other phrases throughout.

Come, Christians, join to sing,
Alleluia! Amen!
Loud praise to Christ our King;
Alleluia! Amen!
Let all, with heart and voice,
Before His throne rejoice;
Praise is His gracious choice.
Alleluia! Amen!

Come, lift your hearts on high,
Alleluia! Amen!
Let praises fill the sky;
Alleluia! Amen!
He is our Guide and Friend;
He will His grace extend;
His love shall never end.
Alleluia! Amen!

Come, praise the risen Lamb,
Alleluia! Amen!
He died to ransom man.
Alleluia! Amen!
On that triumphant day,
He took our sins away;
Death could not bid Him stay,
Alleluia! Amen!

Come, let our praise remain,
Alleluia! Amen!
Death shall not end the strain;
Alleluia! Amen!
On that eternal shore,
His goodness we’ll adore,
Singing forevermore,
“Alleluia! Amen!”
