Lyics

Let every heart rejoice and sing;

Let choral anthems rise:

Ye reverend men, and children, bring

To God your sacrifice;

For he is good-the Lord is good,

And kind are all his ways:

With songs and honors sounding loud,

The Lord Jehovah praise;

While the rocks and the rills,

While the vales and the hills,

A glorious anthem raise,

Let each prolong the grateful song,

And the God of our fathers praise.



He bids the sun to rise and set;

In heaven his power is known;

And earth, subdued to him, shall yet,

Bow low before his throne;

For he is good-the Lord is good.

And kind are all his ways, etc.
