Lyrics

Come with hap­py fac­es,
To the place of pray­er;
Jesus now is wait­ing;
We shall find Him there.

Refrain

With a grate­ful spirit,
Now our voic­es raise;
Thank Him for His good­ness,
In a song of praise.

Come with hap­py fac­es;
Jesus rose to­day;
Leave the world be­hind us,
Seek the nar­row way.

Refrain

Come with hap­py fac­es,
Come with hearts sin­cere;
God our thoughts is read­ing,
He is ev­er near.

Refrain

Come with hap­py fac­es,
Learn the words of truth;
Jesus loves the child­ren;
Trust Him in our youth.
