Author: Rev. John S. B. Monsell Hymnal: The Hymnal #56 (1950) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D with refrain Topics: Cheerfulness Lyrics: 1 On our way rejoicing,
As we homeward move,
Hearken to our praises,
O Thou God of love!
Is there grief or sadness?
Thou our Joy shalt be;
Is our sky beclouded?
There is light with Thee.
Refrain:
On our way rejoicing,
As we homeward move,
Hearken to our praises,
O Thou God of love!
2 If with honest-hearted
Love for God and man,
Day by day Thou find us
Doing all we can,
Thou who giv'st the seed-time
Wilt give large increase,
Crown the head with blessings,
Fill the heart with peace. [Refrain]
3 On our way rejoicing
Gladly let us go;
Conquered hath our Leader,
Vanquished is the foe;
Christ without, our safety;
Christ within, our joy;
Who, if we be faithful,
Can our hope destroy? [Refrain]
4 Unto God the Father
Joyful songs we sing;
Unto God the Saviour
Thankful hearts we bring;
Unto God the Spirit
Bow we and adore;
On our way rejoicing
Now and evermore. [Refrain]
Amen. Tune Title: HERMAS
On our way rejoicing
