“Altogether Lovely” by George F. Root

Hymnal Page Scan: Altogether Lovely

Audio Recording:

1 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?

Refrain:
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.

2 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? [Refrain]

3 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.” [Refrain]
