| 1. With gladness we worship,
rejoice as we sing,
Free hearts and free voices
how blessèd to bring;
The old, thankful story
shall scale Thine abode,
Thou King of all glory,
most bountiful God.
2. Thy right would we give Thee
true homage Thy due,
And honour eternal,
the universe through,
With all Thy creation,
earth, heaven and sea,
In one acclamation
we celebrate Thee.
3. Renewed by the Spirit,
redeemed by Thy Son,
Thy children revere Thee
for all Thou hast done.
O Father! Returning
to love and to light,
Thy children are yearning
to praise Thee aright.
4. We join with the angels,
and so there is given
From earth Alleluia,
in answer to heaven.
Amen! Be Thou glorious
below and above,
Redeeming, victorious,
and infinite Love!
