Chorus

In Him rejoice with heart and voice, Whose glory fadeth never, Whose providence is our de-fence, Who lives and loves forever

Verse 1

A GLADSOME hymn of praise we sing, And thankfully we gather, To bless the love of God above, Our everlasting Father.

Verse 2

From shades of night He calls the light, And from the sod the flower; From every cloud His blessings break, In sunshine or in shower.

Verse 3

Full in His sight His children stand, By His strong arm defended; And He whose wisdom guides the world, Our footsteps hath attended.

Verse 4

For nothing falls unknown to Him Or care or joy or sorrow; And He whose mercy ruled the past, Will be our stay to-morrow.

Verse 5

Then praise the Lord with one accord, To His great name give glory, And His never-changing love Repeat the wondrous story.
