4. We Come With Joyful Song

1 We come with joyful song
To the place we love so dearly,
We join the happy throng
Of friends and teachers true.
With greetings kind to all,
We raise our voices cheerily,
For in the Sabbath school
Are pleasures ever new.

Chorus:
Be joyful, be joyful,
be joyful, be joyful,
be joyful, be joyful,
In the Sabbath school.

2 We come with thankful hearts
To the book of life eternal,
For here its light imparts
The knowledge of our Lord.
And seeds that now are sown
Will bloom in joy supernal,
If while our sins we own
We love and trust his word. [Chorus]
