1 Happy, trustful Christians,
Raise your voices high,
Hearts and minds o’erflowing,
Light in every eye!
Why should there oppress us
Thoughts of gloom and fear,
When we have His presence,
Who will soothe and cheer?
Refrain:
On our way rejoicing,
As we homeward move,
Hearken to our praises,
O Thou God of love.
2 Steps triumphant, buoyant,
Wills determined, brave,
Faces radiant, blissful,
Hands held out to save!
Pulses beating quickly,
Spirits warm with love,
Foreheads bathed with glories
Streaming from above. [Refrain]
3 See mankind in anguish,
Stretch appealing hands;
Let us wake responsive
To the day’s demands!
What are rites and doctrines,
What are pray’rs and creeds,
If we have no pity,
For our brother’s needs? [Refrain]
