55. Sing to the Lord with joyful voice

Sing to the Lord with joyful voice!
Sing as the children of his care.
Let every land blend cheerful noise
with glorious singing everywhere!
We’ll near his gates with thankful songs,
high as the heavens the sound be raised
until the earth’s ten thousand tongues
fill heavenly courts with all our praise.

Come, to attend before his throne,
sacred our joy, and great our awe.
Know that the Lord is God alone;
his holy word is perfect law.
Wide as the world is his command;
vast as eternity his love.
Firm as a rock God’s truth shall stand,
when rolling years shall cease to move.
