Our Festive Song

We wel­come with de­light

Another hap­py day

Our hearts like mer­ry bells

Ring out the sil­ver lay;

We catch the ro­sy beams

Reflected from the eye

Of Him whose won­ders fill the earth

Whose glo­ry fills the sky.

Another year has gone

Another year be­gun;

To our Re­deem­er glo­ry be

For all His love for me.

We thank His ho­ly name

For all His ten­der care

We praise Him for the Sun­day School

And faith­ful teach­ers there.

Cold win­ter flies away

The blush­ing

fai­ry spring

Comes trip­ping o’er the lees

While birds are on the wing;

And now

a mer­ry throng

We come as glad as they;

Our ban­ners wav­ing in the air

We hail our fest­ive day.

The straight and nar­row path

O may we ear­ly find

And try to serve the Lord

With heart

and soul

and mind;

O what a hap­py day

And one that ne’er shall end

In that bright world where an­gels sing

We all with Him may spend!
