The Silver Chime ‎#85

85. The Happy Meeting

1 Come and join us, dear companions,
Come and join our happy throng;
Here we'll blend our hearts and voices
In the dear delights of song.

Chorus:
Yes, we'll come and join the chorus,
Yes, we'll swell the happy throng;
Here we'll blend our hearts and voices
In the dear delights of song.

2 Joy is hov'ring o'er the valley,
Rushing in the waterfalls;
Joy in ev'ry heart is glowing,
That within our circle calls. [Chorus]

3 Come and praise the loving Father
For these joys so freely given;
So may all our earthly pleasures
Fit us for the joys of heaven. [Chorus]
