Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) ‎#4

4. Be joyful in God, all ye lands of the earth

1 Be joyful in God, all ye lands of the earth,
Oh, serve Him with gladness and fear;
Exult in his presence with music and mirth;
With love and devotion draw near.

2 For 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 Oh, 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.
