Glad That I Live Am I

Glad that I live am I,
That the sky is blue,
Glad for the country lanes
And the fall of dew.
After the sun the rain,
After the rain the sun;
This is the way of life,
Till the work be done.
All that we need to do,
Be we low or high,
Is to see that we grow
Nearer the sky.

Lyrics: L. W. Reese (1856-1935)
Tune: Geoffrey Shaw (1879-1943)

Rejoice In The Lord Always

Round in 2 parts

Rejoice in the Lord always,
And again I say rejoice,
Rejoice in the Lord always,
And again I say rejoice,

Rejoice, rejoice,
And again I say rejoice.
Rejoice, rejoice,
And again I say rejoice.

Far Round the World

Far round the world thy children sing their song;
From east and west their voices sweetly blend,
Praising the Lord, in whom young lives are strong,
Jesus our Guide, our Hero, and our Friend.

Guide to the pilgrim clambering to the height,
Hero on whom our fearful hearts depend,
Friend of the wanderer yearning for the light,
Jesus our guide, our hero, and our friend.

Where thy wide ocean, wave on rolling wave,
Beats through the ages on each island shore,
They praise their Lord, whose hand alone can save,
Whose sea of love surrounds them evermore.

All round the world let children sing thy song:
From east and west their voices sweetly blend,
Praising the Lord in whom young lives are strong,
Jesus our Guide, our Hero, and our Friend.

Lyrics: Basil J. Mathews (1879-1951)
Tune: Walter Greatorex (1877-1949)
