260. On Our Way to Rejoicing

1 On our way rejoicing
Gladly let us go.
Christ our Lord has conquered;
Vanquished is the foe.
Christ without, our safety;
Christ within, our joy;
Who, if we be faithful,
Can our hope destroy?

Refrain:
On our way rejoicing;
As we forward move,
Hearken to our praises,
O blest God of love!

2 Unto God the Father
Joyful songs we sing;
Unto God the Savior
Thankful hearts we bring;
Unto God the Spirit
Bow we and adore,
On our way rejoicing
Now and evermore. [Refrain]
