With gladness we worship, rejoice as we sing

1.

With gladness we worship, rejoice as we sing

Free hearts and free voices how blessed to bring

The old, thankful story shall scale thine abode

Thou king of all glory, most bountiful God.

2.

Thy right would we give thee, true homage

Thy due

And honour eternal the universe through

With all thy creation, earth, heaven and sea

In one acclamation we celebrate Thee

3.

Renewed by Thy spirit, redeemed by Thy son

Thy children revere Thee for all thou hast done

O Father! Returning to love and to light

Thy children are yearning to praise Thee aright

4.

We join with the angels and so there is given

From earth Hallelujah, in answer to heaven

Amen! Be Thou glorious below and above

Redeeming, victorious and infinite love.
