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] | Sunday-School Praises: prepared especially for use in the Sunday-School #62 (1900) |
