O Be Joyful in the Lord

O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands

Published in 335 hymnals

Representative Text

1 O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands;
serve the Lord with gladness,
and come before His presence with a song.

2 Be ye sure that the Lord, He is God:
it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves:
we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.

3 O go your way into His gates with thanksgiving,
and into His courts with praise:
be thankful unto Him, and speak good of His Name.

4 For the Lord is gracious; His mercy is everlasting:
and His truth endureth from generation to generation.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen.
