Songs of gladness, never sadness Sing the ransomed ones of heaven; Anthems swelling ever telling Of the joy of souls forgiv’n.

Sweetest music ever swelling Thro’ the courts of heav’n above; Ever singing, ever saying, “God is Life, and God is Love!”

Ever sunshine, never shadow, Calm, mild, clear celestial day; Ever summer in its brightness, Never winter or decay.

Ever gazing, loving, praising, With the angel hosts above; One eternal “Hallelujah!” One eternal song of love.

Never sighing, never sinning; No distrust, nor doubt, nor fears; Thro’ the long unending ages, Thro’ the long eternal years.
