I am glad they came with singing, I am glad, I am glad,
Came the blessed Savior bringing to his own.
I am glad the joyous throng as they moved with him along,
Raised their voices in hosannas sweet and strong.

Let us come with joy and singing. Let us come, the Savior bringing;
He is waiting to be welcomed here today.
Let him come in us to reign. And forever there remain.
Cast ing every doubt and every fear away. all away.

I am glad their hearts were singing, I am glad, I am glad,
As their grateful tho'ts were winging to the skies.
I am glad they honor gave with a loyal purpose brave
To the King who came a fallen world to save.

Let us come with joy and singing. Let us come, the Savior bringing;
He is waiting to be welcomed here today.
Let him come in us to reign. And forever there remain.
Cast ing every doubt and every fear away. all away.

I am glad his love is clinging. I am glad, I am glad,
To our happy chorus ringing thro' the air.
I am glad we may adore. as did they who went before.
Shouting "Blessed" and "Ho- san- na sanna" o'er and o'er.

Let us come with joy and singing. Let us come, the Savior bringing;
He is waiting to be welcomed here today.
Let him come in us to reign. And forever there remain.
Cast ing every doubt and every fear away. all away.
