3. Joyful Songs

1 Joyful songs now let us sing,
To our Shepherd, Savior, King.
Joyful songs our voices raise,
God should have our warmest praise.
Joyful songs on earth ascend,
Joyful songs from hearts of love,
To the blessed One above,
And with songs of Heaven blend,
Joyful songs from hearts of love
To the blessed One above.

2 Joyful songs when faint or sad,
Joyful songs will make us glad,
Joyful songs at home, abroad,
Bright'ning all the way to God.
Joyful songs, when death's dark vale
Joyful songs, all dangers past,
We shall sing in Heav'n at last,
Else would make our courage fail;
Joyful songs, all dangers past,
We shall sing in Heav'n at last.
