1 Happy day of joy, returning,
There we hail, to thee we sing
Festal songs to greet thy coming
Through the air with gladness ring.

Refrain:
Swell the chorus, swell the chorus,
Swell the chorus loud and deep.
Let it gladly onward sweep,
Swell the chorus, swell the chorus,
Ring it sweetly o’er and o‘er,
As we meet once more.

2 Like the dew, in silence falling
While we sleep, at God’s command
Many mercies have descended
From the Father’s loving hand. [Refrain]

3 Peace be with us here assembled,
Joy attend this pleasant hour.
And the God we love uphold us
By his gracious heavenly power. [Refrain]
