Once Again We Come

Charles W. Naylor (1904) • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 42:4

Verse 1

Once again we come to the house of God, To unite in songs of praise; To extol with joy our Redeemer’s name, And to tell His wondrous ways.

Chorus

To Thy house, O Lord, with rejoicing we come, For we know that we are Thine; We will worship Thee in the Bible way, As the evening light doth shine.

Verse 2

In the days gone by, Thou hast been our stay, Thou hast led us safely on To the blessed light of the present day, Where the darkness now is gone.

Chorus

To Thy house, O Lord, with rejoicing we come, For we know that we are Thine; We will worship Thee in the Bible way, As the evening light doth shine.

Verse 3

May our hearts, O Lord, e’er united be In true fellowship and love; May Thy will be done by us here on earth, As by angel hosts above.

Chorus

To Thy house, O Lord, with rejoicing we come, For we know that we are Thine; We will worship Thee in the Bible way, As the evening light doth shine.

Verse 4

May our prayers ascend as an incense sweet, And our praise accepted be, As in gratitude all our hearts o’erflow In a tribute unto Thee.

Chorus

To Thy house, O Lord, with rejoicing we come, For we know that we are Thine; We will worship Thee in the Bible way, As the evening light doth shine.
