Swell the glad the joyful chorus

Representative Text

1 Swell the glad, the joy­ful choru­s,
In these courts we love so well;
See, the heav’ns are bend­ing to­ward us,
While His prais­es sweet we tell.

Refrain:
Praise and hon­or, pow­er and glory,
Render to our Sav­ior here,
Where we glad­ly come to meet Him;
Humbly wor­ship with­out fear.

2 Nothing can ex­ceed the plea­sures—
None so sweet does sin af­ford,
As we wor­ship while we’re tent­ing
On the camp­ground of our Lord. [Refrain]

3 Visit, Lord, these ha­bi­ta­tions;
Meet us here as oft be­fore;
That again we have a fore­taste
Of the bliss for us in store. [Refrain]
