Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #74 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Be joyful in God, all ye lands of the earth,
O, serve Him with gladness and fear;
Exult in His presence with music and mirth;
With love and devotion draw near.
2 For Jehovah is God, and Jehovah alone,
Creator and Ruler o’er all;
And we are His people, His sceptre we own;
His sheep, and we follow His call.
3 O, enter His gates with thanksgiving and song;
Your vows in His temple proclaim;
His praise with melodious accordance prolong,
And bless His adorable name.
4 For good is the Lord, inexpressibly good,
And we are the work of His hand;
His mercy and truth from eternity stood,
And shall to eternity stand.
Amen. Topics: God Creator; God Glory of; God Goodness of; God Presence of; Praise To God; Works of God Languages: English Tune Title: EXULTATION
