2576. How Happy Are We

1. Oh, how happy are we,
Who in Jesus agree,
And expect His return from above;
We sit ’neath His vine,
And delightfully join
In the praise of His excellent love.

Refrain
Oh, how happy are we
Who in Jesus agree,
How happy, how happy are we.

2. When united to Him,
We partake of the stream
Ever flowing in peace from the throne;
We in Jesus believe,
And the Spirit receive,
That proceeds from the Father and Son. [Refrain]

3. We remember the word
Of our crucified Lord,
When He went to prepare us a place,
I will come in that day
And will take you away,
And admit to the sight of My face. [Refrain]
