With Gladness We Worship

lyricist: George Rawson, 1876
Composer: Myles Foster, 1891

With glad­ness we wor­ship

re­joice as we sing

Free hearts and free voic­es

how bless­èd to bring!

The old thank­ful sto­ry shall seek Thine ab­ode

Thou King of all glo­ry

most boun­ti­ful God!

Renewed by Thy Spir­it

re­deemed by Thy Son

Thy child­ren would bless Thee for all Thou hast done:

O Fa­ther

re­turn­ing to love and to light

Our spir­its are yearn­ing to praise Thee aright.

Thy right would we give Thee

true hom­age Thy due

And hon­or eter­nal

the uni­verse through:

With all Thy cre­ation

earth

Heav­en and sea

In one ac­cla­ma­tion we glo­ri­fy Thee.

We join with the an­gels

and so there is giv’n

From earth

Al­le­lu­ia

in an­swer to Heav’n.

Amen! Be Thou glo­ri­ous be­low and above

Redeeming

vic­tor­ious

and in­fi­nite Love!
