Author: Ada Blenkhorn Hymnal: Light and Life Songs No. 4 #133 (1928) First Line: With joyful song we greet the day Refrain First Line: In sweetest praise our voice we raise Lyrics: 1 With joyful song we greet the day
That saw our Lord arise,
With joy we meet to praise and pray
Beneath the list’ning skies.
Chorus:
In sweetest praise our voice we raise
To Him who dwells above;
Glad hearts we bring to Christ our King,
The Prince of life and love.
2 The hours of golden wings will fly,
Upborne by hope’s sweet gale,
And gladly bear, while speeding by,
Our songs o’er hill and dale. [Chorus]
3 Our blessed Jesus looks in love;
The angels on us gaze;
And richer is the song above,
Because we offer praise. [Chorus]
