118. Let us all with gladsome voice

1 Let us all with gladsome voice
Praise the God of heaven,
Who, to bid our hearts rejoice
His own Son hath given.

2 To this vale of tears He comes,
Here to serve in sadness,
That with Him in heav'n's fair homes
We may reign in gladness.

3 We are rich for He was poor;
Is not this a wonder!
Therefore praise God evermore
Here on earth and yonder!

4 0 Lord Christ, our Savior dear,
Be Thou ever near us:
Grant us now a glad New Year;
Amen, Jesus, hear us!
