Be Joyful in God

Be joy­ful in God

all ye lands of the earth

O serve Him with glad­ness and fear;

Exult in His pre­sence with mu­sic and mirth

With love and de­vo­tion draw near

With love and de­vo­tion draw near.

Jehovah is God—and Je­ho­vah alone

Creator and Rul­er o’er all;

And we are His peo­ple

His scep­ter we own

His sheep

and we fol­low His call

His sheep

and we fol­low His call.

O en­ter His gates with thanks­giv­ing and song

Your vows in His tem­ple pro­claim;

His praise with me­lo­di­ous ac­cord­ance pro­long

And bless His ad­or­able name

And bless His ad­or­able name.

For good is the Lord

in­ex­pres­si­bly good

And we are the work of His hand;

His mer­cy and truth from eter­ni­ty stood

And shall to eter­ni­ty stand

And shall to eter­ni­ty stand.
