195. On our way rejoicing

1 On our way rejoicing,
Gladly let us go;
Conquered hath our Leader,
Vanquished is the foe.
Christ without, our safety;
Christ within, our joy;
Who, if we be faithful,
Can our hope destroy?

Refrain:
On our way rejoicing
As we forward move,
Hearken to our praises,
O thou God of love! A-men.

2 If with honest-hearted
Love for God and man,
Day by day thou find us
Doing what we can,
Thou who giv'st the seed-time
Wilt give large increase,
Crown the head with blessings,
Fill the heart with peace. [Refrain]

3 Unto God the Father
Joyful songs we sing,
Unto God the Saviour
Thankful hearts we bring,
Unto God the Spirit
Bow we and adore,
On our way rejoicing
Now and evermore. [Refrain]

Amen.
