Songs of Gladness (Bonar)

Songs of glad­ness

nev­er sad­ness

Sing the ran­somed ones of Heav’n;

Anthem swell­ing

ev­er tell­ing

Of the joy of souls for­giv’n.

Sweetest music ev­er swell­ing

Thro’ the courts of Heav­en ab­ove;

Ever sing­ing

ev­er say­ing

God is life

and God is love!

Ever sun­shine

nev­er sha­dow

Calm

mild

clear ce­les­ti­al day;

Ever sum­mer in its bright­ness

Never win­ter or de­cay.

Ever gaz­ing

lov­ing

prais­ing

With the an­gel hosts ab­ove;

One eter­nal hal­le­lu­jah

One eter­nal song of love.

Never sigh­ing

nev­er sin­ning;

No dis­trust

nor doubt

nor fears;

Thro’ the long un­end­ing ag­es

Thro’ the long eter­nal years.
