The Earth Belongs to the Lord (Hopson)

Composer: Hal Hopson, 1986

Sing

be­liev­ers!

Give thanks for those whose joy is the Lord.

The earth be­longs to the Lord

And all that we en­joy

A strong foun­da­tion was laid

Was laid with­in the seas.

O tell us

who shall as­cend?

Who shall go up to God’s house?

It is those who love the Lord

Who make God’s will their own.

O tell us

who are these saints

These saints who praise God’s name?

It is those whose hearts are clean

Whose joy is in the Lord.

O come

and praise the Lord

And serve the world God made

Whose love is ev­er sure:

O praise God’s ho­ly name.
