Representative Text

1 We come, we come with happy hearts,
This day to celebrate,
To speak and sing of Him we love,
His mercies to relate.

Refrain:
Sing on, sing on, Oh! joyfully sing
With merriest hearts, to Jesus our King;
We’re following on obeying His voice;
United and loving, we ever rejoice.

2 We thank Him for the happy past,
For love shown us anew,
And if our skies be overcast,
We’ll trust His love so true. [Refrain]

3 We cannot go beyond His care,
Whatever be our lot,
And pray’r and praise thro’out our days,
Shall never be forgot. [Refrain]
