Representative Text

1 Now to the Lord our God upraise,
And Jesus Christ our King,
The voice of song in love and praise,—
Let ev’rybody sing!

Refrain:
Let ev’rybody sing,
Let ev’rybody sing,
The old, old story every new,
Ever good, and ever true,
Let ev’rybody sing!

2 Down to the cross He stooped to give
To death a mortal sting,
That all by faith alone may live,—
Let ev’rybody sing! [Refrain]

3 Come to the fount your thirst to slake
Where living waters spring;
For whosoever will may take,—
Let ev’rybody sing! [Refrain]

4 Give to the winds thy guilty care,
And to His promise cling,
Who giveth grace to do and bear,—
Let ev’rybody sing! [Refrain]

5 Blest are the souls who seek and find
The shelter of His wing;
For God is love; and Christ is kind,—
Let ev’rybody sing! [Refrain]

6 Soon will He come in bliss again,
With all the saints to bring
The kingdom, and the crowns! O then,—
Let ev’rybody sing! [Refrain]
