O happy children who follow Jesus
Into the house of prayer and praise,
And join in union while love increases,
Resolved this way to spend our days:
Although we’re hated by the world and Satan,
By the flesh and such as love not God;
Yet happy moments and joyful seasons
We ofttimes find on Canaan’s road.
2 Since we’ve been waiting on lovely Jesus,
We’ve felt some strength come from above,
