Sing to the Lord with Joyful Voice

Sing to the Lord with joy­ful voice

Let ev­ery land His name ad­ore;

Let ev­ery isle send forth the noise

Across the ocean to the shore.

Let na­tions stand be­fore His throne

With so­lemn fear

with sacr­ed joy;

Know that the Lord is God alone;

He can cre­ate and He de­stroy.

His sov­er­eign pow­er

with­out our aid

Made us of clay and formed us men;

And when

like wan­der­ing sheep

we strayed

He brought us to His fold again.

We are His peo­ple

we His care

Our souls and all our mor­tal frame:

What last­ing hon­ors shall we rear

Almighty Mak­er

to Thy name?

We’ll crowd Thy gates with thank­ful songs

High as the heav’ns our voic­es raise;

And earth with her ten thou­sand tongues

Shall fill Thy courts with sound­ing praise.

Wide as the world is Thy com­mand

Vast as eter­ni­ty Thy love!

Firm as a rock Thy truth must stand

When roll­ing years shall cease to move.
