Give Praise

Come be­fore Je­ho­vah

With a joy­ful song

Give praise

give praise!

Lift your voice in glad­ness

Sweet and clear and strong

Your an­them raise.

Cast your bur­den from you—

All your load of sin;

Know God’s love around you

And His peace with­in;

Come be­fore Je­ho­vah

With a joy­ful song

Give praise

give praise.

Feel you not the glad­ness

In this world of ours?

’Tis here

’tis here!

See you not the beau­ty

Of the bloom­ing flow’rs

The chang­ing year?

God His gifts has boun­ti­ful­ly

Round you spread

You have but to take them;

Mourner

lift your head;

Feel you not the glad­ness

In this world of ours?

’Tis here

’tis here!

Chant no wail of sor­row

Leave the mi­nor key;

Be glad

be glad!

Sing God’s grace and good­ness

Let your spir­it be

In bright­ness clad.

And your song shall echo

Down the trou­bled years

Easing some­one’s heart­ache

Drying some­one’s tears;

Chant no wail of sor­row

Leave the mi­nor key;

Be glad

be glad!
