79. Now we lift our tuneful voices

1 Now we lift our tuneful voices,
In a new melodious song:
While each youthful heart rejoices,
To behold the gath'ring throng.

[Chorus]
As we lift our waving banner
To the breezes soft and mild,
May the tide of glad hosannas
Flow from bosoms undefiled.

2 Ye who join our celebration,
Sweetest melodies employ;
Bow with us in adoration,
Filled with holy, heavenly joy. [Chorus]

3 Teachers kind, whose care unceasing,
All must honor and approve;
Thanks for labor still unceasing,
Heaven reward your works of love. [Chorus]

4 Thanks to God for every blessing,
Which his bounteous hand bestows;
All on earth that's worth possessing,
From that hand incessant flows. [Chorus]
