Joyfully, Joyfully, Onward we Move

Author: William Hunter, 1811-1877 Meter: 10.10.10.10 D Appears in 323 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Joyfully, joyfully, onward we move, Bound for the land of bright spirits above; Jesus, our Saviour, in mercy says, Come, Joyfully, joyfully haste to your home. Soon will our pilgrimage end here below, Soon to the presence of God we shall go, Then, if to Jesus our hearts have been given, Joyfully, joyfully, rest we in heaven. 2 Death with its arrows may soon lay us low, Safe in our Saviour, we fear not the blow; Jesus hath broken the bars of the tomb, Joyfully, joyfully, we will go home. Bright will the morn of eternity dawn, Death shall be conquered, his scepter be gone; Over the plains of sweet Canaan we'll roam, Joyfully, joyfully, safely at home. Amen.

Coming to worship Him, lowly and sweet, Bringing rich presents to lay at His feet, Frankincense, myrrh, costly treasures of gold, Such is the beautiful story of old. Refrain: Such is the beautiful story of old, Story by sages and prophets foretold; Waken, earth’s children, your happy refrain, Singing the beautiful story again. 2 Growing to manhood, our Savior we find, Preaching and healing the sick and the blind, Feeding the multitudes, walking the sea, Tempted by Satan, yet no sin did He; Doing the work of His Father, our God, Footsore and weary as onward He trod, Laughed at, derided with words harsh and cold, This is the beautiful story of old. [Refrain] 3 Brought before Pilate, abused and reviled, Cruelly smitten, His raiment defiled, Suffering sorrow, in pain and in loss, Crowned with thorns, and then nailed to the cross; Shedding His blood there for you and for me, Giving His life that mankind might be free, Sadly and low tho’ the tale may be told, Such is the story of Jesus, of old.
