Verse 1

On our way rejoicing,
As we homeward move,
Hearken to our praises,
O Thou God of love.
Is there grief or sadness?
Thou our Joy shalt be;
Is our sky beclouded?
There is light in Thee.

Verse 2

If with honest-hearted
Love for God and man,
Day by day Thou find us
Doing all we can,
Thou who giv’st the seed-time
Wilt give large increase,
Crown the head with blessings,
Fill the heart with peace.

Verse 3

On our way rejoicing
Gladly let us go;
Victor is our Leader,
Vanquished is the foe:
Christ without, our safety;
Christ within, our joy;
Who, if we be faithful,
Can our hope destroy?

Verse 4

Unto God the Father
Joyful songs we sing;
Unto God the Saviour
Thankful hearts we bring;
Unto God the Spirit
Bow we and adore,
On our way rejoicing
Ever, evermore.
