Representative Text

1 Jesus died upon the tree,
That from sin we might be free,
And forever happy be--
Happy in his love;
He has paid the debt we owe;
If with trusting hearts we go,
He will wash us white as snow,
In his blood.

Chorus:
Then with joy & gladness sing;
Happy, ever happy be;
Praises to our heavenly King--
Happy in the Lord.

2 Lord, we bring our hearts to thee;
Dying love is all our plea;
Thine for ever we would be--
Jesus, ever thine;
Jesus smiles and bids us come;
In his loving arms there's room,
And he'll bear us safely home,
Home above. [Chorus]

3 When we reach that shining shore,
All our suffering will be o'er,
And we'll sigh and weep no more,
In that land of love;
But in robes of spotless white,
And with crowns of glory bright,
We will range the fields of light,
Evermore. [Chorus]
