Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #382 (1828) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 How happy, gracious Lord, are we! Divinely drawn to follow thee: Whose hours divided are, Betwixt the mount and multitude: Our day is spent iin doing good, Our night in praise and pray'r. 2 With us no melancholy void; No moment lingers unemploy'd, Or unimprov'd below: Our weariness of life is gone, Who live to serve our God alone, And only thee to know. 3 The winter's night and summer's day, Glide imperceptibly away, Too short to sing thy praise; Too few we find the happy hours, And haste to join those heav'nly pow'rs, In everlasting lays. 4 With all who chant thy name on high, And holy, holy, holy, cry, A bright harmonious throng! We long thy praises to repeat, And ceaseless sing around thy seat The new eternal song.

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #354 (1873) Lyrics: 1 How happy, gracious Lord, are we, Divinely drawn to follow thee: Whose hours divided are Betwixt the mount and multitude; Our day is spent in doing good, Our night in praise and prayer. 2 With us no melancholy void, No moment lingers unemployed, Or unimproved below; Our weariness of life is gone, Who live to serve our God alone And only thee to know. 3 The winter's night and summer's day Glide imperceptibly away, Too short to sing thy praise; Too few we find the happy hours, In haste to join those heavenly powers In everlasting lays. 4 With all who chant thy name on high, And Holy, holy holy! cry, A bright, harmonious throng, We long thy praises to repeat, And ceaseless sing, around thy seat, The new eternal song.
