Good Will ‎#69

69. Glad and Free

1 Glad and free, glad and free,
Jesus, we will follow thee;
Gladly free from all alarms,
Safely shielded from all harms;
We will follow ev’ry day
In Thy safe and narrow way;
Glad and free, glad and free,
Jesus, we will follow thee, we will follow thee.

2 Glad and free, glad and free,
Jesus, we will work for thee;
Gladly work with all our might,
Conqu’ring wrong and doing right;
Working for thee ev’ry day,
Trusting in thy strength alway;
Glad and free, glad and free,
Jesus, we will work for thee, we will work for thee.

3 Glad and free, glad and free,
Jesus, we will sing to thee;
Gladly singing songs of praise,
For the love which crowns our days;
Gladly singing ev’ry day,
All along life’s happy way;
Glad and free, glad and free,
Jesus, we will sing to thee, we will sing to thee.

4 Glad and free, glad and free,
Jesus, we will live for thee;
All our lives we gladly give
Unto Him who lets us live;
And in heav’n thou wilt repay
All who live for thee each day;
Glad and free, glad and free,
Jesus, we will live for thee, we will live for thee.
