151. The Songs of the Kingdom

1 Joyously sing, joyously sing,
Sing the glad songs of the kingdom;
Earnestly sing, heartily sing,
Sing the glad songs of the kingdom.

Refrain:
We’re singing the songs of the kingdom,
The beautiful kingdom of heav’n;
The songs of his wonderful kingdom,
And pray that our sins be forgiv’n.

2 Tenderly sing, tenderly sing,
Sing the glad songs of the kingdom;
Jesus hath died, scourged, crucified,
Sing the glad songs of the kingdom. [Refrain]

3 Hopefully sing, risen the King,
Joyous your song of the kingdom;
Banished all gloom, hence from the tomb,
Sing the blest songs of the kingdom. [Refrain]
