Swell the Glad, the Joyful Chorus

lyricist: James Coulter, 1897
Composer: Gomer Thomas

Swell the glad

the joy­ful chor­us

In these courts we love so well;

See

the heav’ns are bend­ing to­ward us

While His prais­es sweet we tell.

Praise and hon­or

pow­er and glory

Render to our Sav­ior here

Where we glad­ly come to meet Him;

Humbly wor­ship with­out fear.

Nothing can ex­ceed the plea­sures —

None so sweet does sin af­ford

As we wor­ship while we’re tent­ing

On the camp­ground of our Lord.

Visit

Lord

these ha­bi­ta­tions;

Meet us here as oft be­fore;

That again we have a fore­taste

Of the bliss for us in store.
