1 Be ye glad in the Lord, all ye people,
The glory of His triumphs sing;
Great and awful the name of Jehovah,
Who over all the earth is King.

Refrain:
Sing, sing His praise, sing His praise with gladness,
Sing the triumphs of your King;
In His justice and His mercy He reigneth;
Forever His praises sing.

2 He shall rule in His strength all the nations,
Our heritage for us shall choose;
With a shout and a song now exalt Him,
Who all the hostile world subdues. [Refrain]

3 Sing with joy to the praise of Jehovah,
Sing praises to our glorious King;
O’er the nations in justice He reigneth;
His praise with understanding sing. [Refrain]

4 Lo, the nations afar are His people,
In holiness His throne doth stand;
Unto Him all the kingdoms are bending,
His rule is over ev’ry land. [Refrain]

19th Century "Robert Lowe Fletcher, the composer, will be at the South Avenue Congregational Church to-morrow, In the morning he will speak on 'The Conservative Life" and at night he will conduct an old-fashioned gospel singing service, when he will use some of his own compositions. Mr. Fletcher will ask the audience to assist him in the singing. Mr. Fletcher is an interesting person, and it is expected that he will attract a large number of strangers to the South Avenue Church." --from The Post-Standard, Syracuse, NY, 26 November 1910 Go to person page >
