The New Praiseworthy ‎#69

69. A Song of Cheer

1 In songs of praise and glad refrain
We lift our hearts today,
And honor Him who thro' the year
Hath been our guide alway.

Chorus:
God bless our loved ones, bless our school,
(God bless our school,)
God bless our homes so dear;
(Our homes so dear;)
And may this day bring to us all
A store of hope and cheer.

2 The tender mercies of our God,
The riches of His grace,
Have satisfied our longing souls,
And turned our hearts to praise. [Chorus]

3 Let all unite on this glad day,
And sing with one accord;
Let incense of thanksgiving rise
Unto our Savior, Lord. [Chorus]
