Sheet music
- 1O be joyful in the Lord!Sing before Him, all the earth!Praise Him with a glad accordAnd with lives of noblest worth,Sons of ev’ry land,Humbly now before Him stand!Raise your voice and rejoiceIn the bounty of His hand.
- 2Know ye that the Lord is King!All His works His wisdom prove!By His might the heavens ring;In His love we live and move.By Him we are made,So we trust Him unafraid.Standing fast to the last,By His hand our lives are stayed.
- 3Enter now His holy gate;Let our burdened hearts be still;In the sacred silence wait,As we seek to know His will.Let our lives expressOur abundant thankfulness;All our days, all our ways,Shall our Father’s love confess.
- 4For the Lord our God is kind,And His love shall constant be;In His will our peace we find;In His service, liberty.Yea, His law is sure;In His light we walk secure;Evermore, as of yore,Shall His changeless truth endure.
