On Our Way Rejoicing

On our way re­joic­ing

As we home­ward move

Hearken to our prais­es

O Thou God of love!

Is there grief or sad­ness?

Thou our joy shalt be;

Is our sky be­cloud­ed?

There is light with Thee.

On our way re­joic­ing

As we home­ward move

Hearken to our prais­es

O Thou God of love!

If with hon­est heart­ed

Love for God and man

Day by day Thou find us

Doing all we can

Thou who gives the seed time

Will give large in­crease

Crown the head with bless­ings

Fill the heart with peace.

On our way re­joic­ing

Gladly let us go;

Conquered hath our lead­er

Vanquished is our foe;

Christ with­out

our safe­ty

Christ with­in

our joy;

Who

if we be faith­ful

Can our hope de­stroy?

Unto God the Fa­ther

Joyful songs we sing;

Unto God the Sav­ior

Thankful hearts we bring;

Unto God the Spir­it

Bow we and ad­ore;

On our way re­joic­ing

Now and ev­er­more.
