When Breaks the Dawn ‎#94

94. O Be Joyful in the Lord

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

Be ye sure that the Lord, that the Lord is God;
it is he that has made us and not we ourselves;
we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.
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.
For the Lord is gracious; his mercy's everlasting;
and his truth endures from generation to generation.

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