Be Glad in the Lord

Be glad in the Lord

and re­joice

All ye that are up­right in heart;

And ye that have made Him your choice

Bid sad­ness and sor­row de­part.

Rejoice

re­joice

Be glad in the Lord and re­joice;

Rejoice

re­joice

Be glad in the Lord and re­joice.

Be joy­ful

for He is the Lord

On earth and in Heav­en su­preme;

He fa­shions and rules by His Word—

The Migh­ty and Strong to re­deem.

What though in the con­flict for right

Your ene­mies al­most pre­vail?

God’s ar­mies

just hid from your sight

Are more than the foes which as­sail.

Though dark­ness sur­round you by day

Your sky by the night be o’er­cast

Let no­thing your spir­it dis­may

But trust till the dan­ger is past.

Be glad in the Lord

and re­joice

His prais­es pro­claim­ing in song;

With harp and with or­gan and voice

The loud hal­le­lu­jahs pro­long!
