1 Podes sempre estar alegre no Senhor
E gozar a paz do teu bom Salvador;
Em seguindo após Jesus,
Sempre andando em Sua luz,
Sentirás Seu gozo no teu coração.

Refrain:
Gozo, gozo tu terás,
Gozo, gozo provarás,
Em seguir o Salvador
Em servi-Lo com ardor,
Sentirás Seu gozo no teu coração.

2 Brilhe tua luz a todos em redor,
Mostre a teus amigos todos Seu amor.
Atraindo-os pra Jesus,
Apontando a Sua cruz,
Sentirás Seu gozo no teu coração.

Translator: William Anglin

William Anglin (1882–1965) was born in Stockton-on-Tees, England, where he was successful as a steel mill manager until he felt God's call to missionary work. He arrived in Brazil in 1926 and worked primarily in the Zona da Mata region (MG, RJ, and ES), dedicating himself to evangelization, teaching children to read and write, and supporting other missionaries. He distinguished himself as a hymnologist, contributing 63 compositions to the hymnal Hinos e Cânticos and authoring the adaptation of A. E. Knight's History of Christianity. After health problems, he returned to England in 1960, declaring with emotion: "Brazil is my homeland." He died on September 7, 1965, leaving behind an important missionary and musical legacy.
