1 Joyful songs we’ll sing
To our Savior King,
Never was a friend so true;
In the cleansing flood
Of His precious blood,
He has wash’d and made us new.

Chorus:
Hallelujah, praise the Savior’s name,
He hath made us free, blessed liberty!
Hallelujah, praise His Holy name,
In His name is victory.

2 Tho’ on ev’ry hand
Danger ‘round us stand,
We will trust and never fear;
Safely shall we go
Conqu’ring ev’ry foe,
Christ our Lord to keep is near. [Chorus]

3 Coming from above,
From His heart of love,
peace and joy our portion blest;
Sorrows we may see
Shall but blessings be,
While within His arms we rest. [Chorus]

4 Jesus bids us come
To His heav’nly home,
There His glory bright to share;
When we see His face
In that holy place,
We shall praise Him better there. [Chorus]
