Lyrics
-
1. On this day of joy and gladness,
Lord, we praise thy holy name;
In this sacred place of worship,
We thy glories loud proclaim!
-
[Chorus]
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Bright and clear our voices ring,
Singing songs of exultation
To our Maker, Lord, and King!
-
2. Open wide the fount of Zion;
Let her richest blessings flow
To the Saints who nobly serve thee
In the gospel here below.
-
3. May we labor in the kingdom—
By the prophets long foretold—
Where the children of the promise
Shall be gathered in the fold.
