163. Let ev'ry heart rejoice and sing

1 Let ev'ry heart rejoice and sing;
Let choral anthems rise;
Ye rev'rend men and children bring
To God your sacrifice.
For he is good; the Lord is good,
And kind are all his ways;
With songs and honors sounding loud,
The Lord Jehovah praise:
While the rocks and the rills,
While the vales and the hills
A glorious anthem raise.
Let each prolong their grateful song,
And the God of our fathers praise,
Let each prolong the grateful song,
And the God of our fathers praise.

2 He bids the sun to rise and set;
In heav'n his power is known
And earth subdued to him, shall yet
Bow low before his throne.
For he is good; the Lord is good,
And kind are all his ways;
With songs and honors sounding loud,
The Lord Jehovah praise:
While the rocks and the rills,
While the vales and the hills
A glorious anthem raise.
Let each prolong the grateful song,
And the God of our fathers praise,
Let each prolong the grateful song,
And the God of our fathers praise.
