Songs of gladness—never sadness—
Sing the ransomed ones of heaven;
Anthems swelling, ever telling
Of the joy of souls forgiv’n
Sweetest music ever swelling
Through the courts of heav’n above;
Ever singing, ever saying,
“God is Life, and God is Love!”
Ever sunshine, never shadow,
Calm, mild, clear celestial day;
Ever summer in its brightness,
Never winter or decay.
Sweetest music ever swelling
Through the courts of heav’n above;
Ever singing, ever saying,
“God is Life, and God is Love!”
Ever gazing, loving, praising,
With the angel hosts above;
One eternal “Hallelujah!”
One eternal song of love.
Sweetest music ever swelling
Through the courts of heav’n above;
Ever singing, ever saying,
“God is Life, and God is Love!”
Never sighing, never sinning;
No distrust, nor doubt, nor fears;
Through the long unending ages,
Through the long eternal years.
Sweetest music ever swelling
Through the courts of heav’n above;
Ever singing, ever saying,
“God is Life, and God is Love!”
