Everlasting joy shall be upon thy head

Tune: EVERLASTING JOY
Published in 1 hymnal


Representative Text

Everlasting joy shall be upon thy head;
everlasting joy shall be upon they head.
Sorrow and mourning shall flee away;
sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
The Lord is in His holy temple,
the Lord is in His holy temple:
Let all the earth keep silence,
let all the earth keep silence:
let all the earth keep silence before Him.
Everlasting joy shall be upon thy head;
everlasting joy shall be upon they head.
Sorrow and mourning shall flee away;
sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
