62. In a Song of Joy and Gladness

1 In a song of joy and gladness
Let our hearts and voices blend,
And our ringing hallelujahs
To our Father’s throne ascend;
‘Tis his hand leads out the dayspring,
Pouring forth the sunbeams bright;
His the freshness of the morning,
And the calm repose of night.

Refrain:
Praise the Lord! O let us praise him;
In his courts a joyful throng;
For his love will never fail us,
And our hearts are full of song.

2 We will sing the tender mercy
That encompasses our way;
There is grace in rich abundance
For the duties of each day;
From the fountain of his goodness
We may ever freely drink,
And the story of redemption,
To his endless praise repeat. [Refrain]

3 He will guide our trustful footsteps
Through the sunshine and the gloom,
To the house of many mansions,
Where eternal pleasures bloom;
In the Name above all others,
We will gather ‘round his feet,
And the story of redemption,
To his endless praise repeat. [Refrain]
