Joyfully, Joyfully

Verse 1

Oh, joyfully, joyfully, onward we go; We see not our path, but our Leader we know; And where'er he may guide us, thro' shadow or sun. Ever joyfully, joyfully follow we on.

Chorus

Joyfully, joyfully, forward we go, Joyfully leaving all sorrow below; Onward and upward, tho' Satan assail; Joyfully onward, thro' Christ we'll prevail.

Verse 2

Though trials assail us, and dangers affright, And nearer, still nearer, comes death's awful night; Yet what shall dismay us, when close at our side, Stands he who can help us, our Saviour and Guide.

Verse 3

Then onward, still onward, thro' life's varied track, In hope we press on, nor look mournfully back; With out Saviour beside us to point out our way, We'll joyfully speed us thro' life's little day.
