YouTube video: I Receive Thy Word With Gladness, hymn

Text:
I receive Thy word with gladness,
When I open up my heart,
The dews of truth distill,
As Thy Spirit now imparts.

I’ll live Thy word with gladness,
Through thoughts and kindly deeds,
Reaching out like Jesus,
Meeting other’s needs.

I’ll share Thy word with gladness,
With a Hosanna song
And join my voice with angels,
In an anthem sweet and strong.

Chorus
I receive Thy word with gladness,
Bringing hope and joy and love,
I’ll sing Thy word with gladness,
With the choirs from heav’n above.
