77. A gladsome hymn of praise we sing

1 A gladsome hymn of praise we sing,
and thankfully we gather
to bless the love of God above,
our everlasting Father.

2 In Him rejoice with heart and voice,
His glory fading never,
whose providence is our defence,
who lives and loves for ever. [Refrain]

3 Full in His sight His children stand,
by His strong arm defended,
and He whose wisdom guides the world
our footsteps has attended. [Refrain]

4 For nothing falls unknown to Him–
or care or joy or sorrow;
and He, whose mercy ruled the past,
Will be our stay tomorrow. [Refrain]
