593. O Be Joyful in the Lord

1 O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands;
serve the Lord with gladness, and come before His presence with a song.

2 Be ye sure that the Lord He is God; it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves;
we are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

3 O go your way into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise;
be thankful unto Him and speak good of His Name.

4 For the Lord is gracious, His mercy is everlasting;
and His truth endureth from generation to generation.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen.
