At

A

Refresh
our souls with heav’nly food.

Almighty
Father, in Your Son!
You
loved us, when not yet begun
Was

To
live in Him here and above:
This
is Your great salvation.
Alleluia!
Christ the living, to us giving
Life
forever, Keeps us Yours and fails us never!

Our
joy be all with music crowned,
Our
voices gaily blending!
For
Christ goes with us all the way-
Today,
tomorrow, everyday!
His
love is never ending!
Sing
out! Ring out! Jubilation! exultation!
