O Serve the Lord

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1895
Composer: Ira Sankey

O serve the Lord with glad­ness

And come be­fore His throne;

He is the great Cre­at­or

And He is God alone;

The heav’ns de­clare His glo­ry

The earth His pow­er dis­plays;

While mill­ions with­out num­ber

To Him glad an­thems raise.

O serve the Lord with glad­ness

And come be­fore His throne;

He is our great Re­deem­er

And He is God alone.

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.

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.
