Lyics

BE joyful in God, all ye lands of the earth,

O serve him with gladness and fear;

Exult in his presence with music and mirth,

With love and devotion draw near,



The Lord he is God, and Jehovah alone,

Creator and ruler o'er all;

And we are his people, his sceptre we own:

His sheep, and we follow his call,



O enter his gates with thanksgiving and song,

Your vows in his temple proclaim;

His praise with melodious concordance prolong,

And bless his adorable name,



For good is the Lord, inexpressibly good,

And we are the work of his hand:

His mercy and truth from eternity stood,

And shall to eternity stand.
