Be joyful in God, all ye lands of the earth
1
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.
2
Jehovah is God, and Jehovah alone,Creator and ruler o'er all;And we are his people, his scepter we own,His sheep, and we follow his call.
3
O, enter his gates with thanksgiving and song,Your vows in his temple proclaim;His praise with melodious accordance prolong,And bless his adorable name.
4
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.
