Representative Text

1. O serve the Lord with gladness,
And come before His throne;
He is the great Creator,
And He is God alone;
The heavens declare His glory,
The earth His power displays;
While millions without number
To Him glad anthems raise.

Refrain
O serve the Lord with gladness,
And come before His throne;
He is our great Redeemer,
And He is God alone.

2. O serve the Lord with gladness,
And glad hosannas bring,
To Him the sovereign ruler,
The universal King;
Forever through the ages
His truth unchanging stands;
Let all the nations fear Him,
And reverence His commands. [Refrain]

3. O serve the Lord with gladness,
His love to all proclaim;
Exalt Him in the highest;
And spread abroad His fame;
All majesty, dominion,
All power and glory be
To Him who reigns in triumph,
Through all eternity. [Refrain]
