We come with joy and gladness,
We gather in the name of God,
We have met in peace together,.
Welcome, delightful morn,
Welcome, sweet day of rest,
We long to see that happy time,
We mourn for those who toil,
We praise thee if one rescued soul,
Were not the sinful Mary's tears,.
Whatever dims thy sense of truth,
What glorious tidings do I hear,
What if the little rain should say,.
What must it be to dwell above,
What secret hand at morning light,
What shall we render, bounteous Lord,
What though no flowers the fig-tree clothe,
What though the arm of conquering death,
What though the stream be dead,
When Abraham, full of sacred awe,
When, as returns this solemn day,'
When before thy throne we kneel,.
When bending o'er the brink of life, .
When brighter suns and milder skies,
When called, O Lord, to mourn the doom,
When children give their hearts to God,
When darkness long has veiled my mind,
When dread misfortune's tempests rise,
Whene'er the clouds of sorrow roll,
When fainting in the sultry waste,
When floating on life's troubled sea,
When gloomy thoughts and boding fears,
When God descends with men to dwell,
When God revealed his gracious name,
When grief and anguish press me down,
When his salvation bringing,

When, like a stranger on our sphere, .
When long the soul had slept in chains,
When, Lord, to this our western land,
When on her Maker's bosom,
When overwhelmed with grief,
When Power Divine in mortal form,
When quiet in my house I sit, .
When shall the voice of singing,.
When the worn spirit wants repose,
When the parting bosom bleeds,
When the vale of death appears, .
When true religion gains a place,
When verdure clothes the fertile vale,
When vexing thoughts within me rise,
When wakened by thy voice of power,
Where'er my gospel is proclaimed,.
Where'er the Lord shall build my house
Where shall the child of sorrow find,.
Where shall we go to seek and find,
