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!
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.
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Bright and clear our voices ring,
Singing songs of exultation,
to our Maker, Lord, and King!
3. May we labor in the kingdom
By the prophets long foretold
Where the children of the promise
Shall be gathered in the fold.
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Bright and clear our voices ring,
Singing songs of exultation,
to our Maker, Lord, and King!
Alleluia, Alleluia!
