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

Refrain

In Him re­joice with heart and voice
Whose glo­ry fad­eth ne­ver,
Whose pro­vi­dence is our de­fense,
Who lives and loves for­ev­er.

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.

Refrain

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

Refrain

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

Refrain

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