Again our voices join in song, And bring their glad thanksgiving, To Thee, to whom all years belong, To Thee, the Ever-Living. 2 We meet with gladness on each lip, And kindly warmth of greeting, And, in Thy boundless fellowship, Each heart to heart is beating. And for this day, and for this hour, We bring our glad thanksgiving, To Thee, the ever gracious Power, To Thee, the Ever-Living. 3 How oft has lighted every brow To see Thy love upspringing! And some who joined our songs, are now Amid the angels singing. But friends below and friends above Unite in glad thanksgiving To Thee, whom all the children love, To Thee, the Ever-Living. 4 Thy power in prayer we oft have felt, Thy sympathy most tender, And seemed to see, as we have knelt, Thy face in veilèd splendor. For all these joys of Paradise, We bring our glad thanksgiving, To Thee, who every good supplies, To Thee, the Ever-Living. 5 So may we join from year to year, Thy goodness ever singing, And, after faithful service, hear The bells of glory ringing. Then, safe with Thee, again we’ll raise Our voices in thanksgiving To Thee, in more exalted praise To Thee, the Ever-Living. Used With Tune: METZ Text Sources: Heart and Voice by William F.

At fifteen he went to Boston and studied music under Dr. Mason: In due course he became a teacher of vocal music, and held several important appointments in Massachusetts; in Hudson and Albany, New York County, and then in New York City. Taking special interest in Sunday Schools, he composed carols and hymn-tunes largely for their use, and was associated with the Rev. R. Lowry and others in preparing Bright Jewels, and other popular Sunday School hymn and tune books. A few of his melodies are known in Great Britain through I. D. Sankey's Sacred Songs and Solos, where they are given with his signature. His hymnwriting was limited. The following pieces are in common use:— 1. Grander than ocean's story (1871). The Love of God. 2. Hark, bark, the merry Christmas bells. Christmas Carol. 3. Lo, the day of God is breaking. The Spiritual Warfare. 4. Wake the song of joy and gladness. Sunday School or Temperance Anniversary. 5. Why is thy faith, 0 Child of God, so small. Safety in Jesus.
