Songs of gladness, never sadness,
Sing the ransomed ones of Heav’n;
Anthem swelling, ever telling
Of the joy of souls forgiv’n.

Refrain

Sweetest music ever swelling
Thro’ the courts of Heaven above;
Ever singing, ever saying,
God is life, and God is love!

Ever sunshine, never shadow,
Calm, mild, clear celestial day;
Ever summer in its brightness,
Never winter or decay.

Refrain

Ever gazing, loving, praising,
With the angel hosts above;
One eternal hallelujah,
One eternal song of love.

Refrain

Never sighing, never sinning;
No distrust, nor doubt, nor fears;
Thro’ the long unending ages,
Thro’ the long eternal years.

Refrain
