1 A happy song we raise, far and near, far and near,
A joyful note of praise, sweet and clear, sweet and clear;
And it tells to all the world, as it rings,
That the Savior is the King of kings!
Refrain:
Voices gladly singing, music sweetly ringing,
Welcome tidings bringing, now the notes prolong,
Join with us in raising hymns of love and praising,
Join us in our happy song.
2 A happy song rings our, bright and fair, bright and fair,
A glad triumphant shout, everywhere, everywhere;
And the word to every heart, now it brings,
That the Savior is the King of kings! [Refrain]
3 A happy song we swing, glad and gay, glad and gay,
An anthem for the King, on his day, on his day;
And there’s joy in every voice, as it sings,
That the Savior is the King of kings! [Refrain]
