Lyrics

Come with re­joic­ing, come with de­light,
Nature in wak­ing, glad and bright;
Hearts ov­er­flow­ing ga­ther to­day,
Fill us with rap­ture, Lord we pray.

Refrain

Praise our Re­deem­er, tell of His love,
Praise our Re­deem­er, God above;
Tell of His mercy, bound­less and free,
None can pro­tect us, Lord, like Thee;
Tell of His mer­cy, bound­less and free,
None can pro­tect us, Lord, like Thee.

Guarded from dan­ger, shel­tered and blest,
Under His ban­ner, calm, we rest,
Come we be­fore Him, come with a song,
Tell how He leads us all day long.

Refrain

Oh! what a Sav­ior, gra­cious to all,
Oh! how His bless­ings round us fall,
Gently to com­fort, kind­ly to cheer,
Sleeping or wak­ing, God is near.

Refrain

Still may His mer­cy ten­der­ly flow,
Still may He guide us here be­low;
Then when our jour­ney safe­ly is past,
May we be ga­thered home at last.
