Representative Text

Sing to the Lord in sweetest lays,
With voice of song in loudest praise,
Sing how He saves the trusting soul,
While raging waves around it roll.

Chorus:
Sing on, sing on,
O sing the song of endless love,
Sing on, sing on,
O sing the song of endless love.

Sing in the deepest shade of gloom,
When friends are carried to the tomb;
And tho’ the loved ones may depart,
Sing on, with cheerful, loving heart.

Your song shall echo from the shore,
Where beams of life forever pour;
And from that realm where songs abound,
Your songs of praises may resound.

Then sweetly sing the songs below
Where tides of praises ever flow,
Till with the hosts that sing above,
You sing the songs of endless love.
