We come, we come with happy hearts,
This day to celebrate,
To speak and sing of Him we love,
His mercies to relate.
Refrain
Sing on, sing on, Oh! joyfully sing,
With merriest hearts to Jesus our king;
We’re following on obeying His voice,
United and loving, we ever rejoice.
We thank Him for the happy past,
For love shown us anew;
And if our skies be overcast,
We’ll trust His love so true.
Refrain
We cannot go beyond His care,
Whatever be our lot,
And prayer and praise throughout our days
Shall never be forgot.
