Lyics

Let every heart re-joice and sing;

Let cho-ral an-thems rise;

Ye rev'rend men and children, bring

To God your sac-ri-fice.



For he is good, the Lord is good,

And kind are all his ways,

With songs and hon-ors sound-ing loud,

The Lord Je-ho-vah praise,

While the rocks and the rills,

While the vales and the hills,

A glo-rious an-them raise;

Let each pro-long the grate-ful song,

And the God of our fa-thers praise,

And the God of our fa-thers praise.



He bids the sun to rise and set;

In heaven his power is known;

And earth, subdued to him, shall yet

Bow low be-fore his throne.
