PRAISE WE OUR GOD WITH JOY

Praise we our God with joy\nAnd gladness never ending;\nAngels and saints with us\nTheir grateful voices blending.\nHe is our Father dear,\nO’erfilled with parent’s love;\nMercies unsought, unknown,\nHe showers from above.\n2. He is our shepherd true;\nWith watchful care unsleeping,\nOn us, his erring sheep,\nAnd eye of pity keeping;\nHe with a mighty arm\nThe bonds of sin doth break,\nAnd to our burdened hearts\nIn words of peace doth speak.\n3. Graces in copious stream\nFrom that pure fount are welling,\nWhere, in our heart of hearts,\nOur God has found his dwelling.\nHis word our lantern is\n44\nHis peace our comfort still,\nHis sweetness all our rest,\nOur law, our life, his will.
