Text: | Songs of Gladness |
Author: | Horatius Bonar |
Tune: | [Songs of gladness, never sadness] |
Composer: | Ira D. Sankey |
1 Songs of gladness, never sadness
Sing the ransomed ones of heaven;
Anthems swelling ever telling
Of the joy of souls forgiv’n.
Refrain:
Sweetest music ever swelling
Thro’ the courts of heav’n above;
Ever singing, ever saying,
“God is Life, and God is Love!”
2 Ever sunshine, never shadow,
Calm, mild, clear celestial day;
Ever summer in its brightness,
Never winter or decay. [Refrain]
3 Ever gazing, loving, praising,
With the angel hosts above;
One eternal “Hallelujah!”
One eternal song of love. [Refrain]
4 Never sighing, never sinning;
No distrust, nor doubt, nor fears;
Thro’ the long unending ages,
Thro’ the long eternal years. [Refrain]
