1 Oh, the joy of fellowship with Jesus,
Sitting at His feet each day!
Hand in hand with Christ, the loving Savior,
Walking all along life’s way!

Refrain:
Oh, the joy of fellowship with Jesus,
Close beside Him all the way!
Oh, the joy of fellowship with Jesus,
Hand in hand with Him each day!

2 Waiting for the word of cheer He giveth,
Gaining inspiration new,
Strength to carry on the Father’s business,,
Learning well His work to do. [Refrain]

3 Oh, the joy of fellowship with Jesus!
Mind and soul and heart and will,
Given to the Lord in full surrender,
With His blessed love to fill! [Refrain]
