Come now with joy and singing, Loud hallelujahs ringing, Our grateful tribute bringing To our almighty Friend; Offering, with purest pleasure, To him the heart's full treasure, Whose love no thought can measure, Whose praise will never end. We sing with exultation, Lord God of our salvation; You are our sure foundation, Our Refuge evermore. When to this Refuge flying, Turn sinners, helpless, dying, On Christ alone relying, No harm can reach them there; When floods of grief are dashing, And waves of sorrow splashing, Light to the soul comes flashing— God's smile through dark despair! We sing with exultation, Lord God of our salvation; You are our sure foundation, Our Refuge evermore. In waking or in sleeping, Bright days, or nights of weeping, Our souls are in Your keeping While here we wait below; In You alone abiding, And in Your love confiding, Safe when Your hand is guiding, We'll ever onward go. We sing with exultation, Lord God of our salvation; You are our sure foundation, Our Refuge evermore.
