God be praised with a song!
To the Lord we belong,
Children of the Father,
God the great life-giver!
Refrain:
Shout for joy, joy, joy!
Shout for joy, joy, joy!
God is love, God is light,
God is everlasting!
2 By God's word all was made,
Heav'n and earth, light and shade,
Nature's wonders displayed,
We to rule creation
From its first foundation. [Refrain]
3 Yet our pride made us fall!
So Christ came for us all,
Not the righteous to call,
By his cross and passion
Bringing us salvation! [Refrain]
4 Now has Christ truly ris'n,
And his Spirit is giv'n
To all those under heav'n
Who now walk beside him,
Though they once denied him! [Refrain] Topics: Praise Languages: English Tune Title: PERSONENT HODIE
