Joyfully, Joyfully

Oh

joy­ful­ly

joy­ful­ly

on­ward we go;

We see not our path

but our lead­er we know;

And wher­e’er He may guide us

thro’ sha­dow or sun

Ever joy­ful­ly

joy­ful­ly

fol­low we on.

Joyfully

joy­ful­ly

for­ward we go

Joyfully leav­ing all sor­row be­low;

Onward and up­ward

tho’ Sa­tan as­sail;

Joyfully on­ward

thro’ Christ we’ll pre­vail.

Tho’ trials as­sail us

and dan­gers af­fright

And near­er

still near­er

comes death’s aw­ful night

Yet what shall dis­may us

when close at our side

Stands He who can help us

our Sav­ior and guide.

Then onward

still onward

on life’s varied track

In hope we press on

nor look mournfully back;

With our Sav­ior beside us to point out the way

We’ll joyfully speed us thro’ life’s little day.
