Oh, I am glad; yes, I am glad To help the sick and lift the sad, To go to the house of the Lord And hear God's Word, the two-edged sword, Destroying fear on Sabbath morn. I follow Truth and am reborn! Oh, let us go; yes, let us go To overcome the worldy woe In quiet midweek evening hour, Rejoicing in our God's great power; In groups or joyous solititude, Hearing the voice of gratitude! Come, let us pray; yes, let us pray And find on earth the Christly way— At any time, in any place, See His goodness and tender grace Expressed by all who with accord Abide in the house of the Lord!

Principle embraces all in a love that is absolute and divine.
