Lyrics

Come, let us join, with one ac­cord,
To mag­ni­fy and bless the Lord;
He kind­ly bends His gra­cious ear,
And con­des­cends our praise to hear.

Refrain

Happy songs, hap­py songs,
Let us sing our happy songs to­ge­ther;
Happy songs, hap­py songs,
Let us praise Him in our hap­py songs.

The child­ren in the tem­ple sang,
Till thro’ its courts their voic­es rang;
Nor will our tongues re­fuse to sing
The prais­es of our Sav­ior king.

Refrain

Our earth­ly joy, our hope of Heav’n,
By Him in ten­der love are giv’n;
And dai­ly bless­ings from His hand,
Our high­est, sweet­est, praise de­mand.

Refrain

Then let us join, with one ac­cord,
To mag­ni­fy and bless the Lord;
O may He bend His gra­cious ear
And con­de­scend to meet us here.
