Let Us Be Joyful

Author: T. O. Chisholm Hymnal: Reformed Press Hymnal #6 (1934) First Line: Let us be joyful, we that are Christian Refrain First Line: Let us rejoice with jubilant singing Lyrics: 1 Let us be joyful, we that are Christian, Lift heart and voice in jubilant song; So many reasons have we for gladness, We should be singing all the day long. Chorus: Let us rejoice with jubilant singing Over the treasures revealed in His Word, sing of the love of Christ who redeemed us, Singing with grace in our hearts to the Lord. 2 Once we were aliens, now we are children, Once, groping blindly, now we can see; "All we like sheep" were helplessly straying, Now in the fold of the Shepherd are we. [Chorus] 3 Wondrous the girts and bounteous the blessings Which we as heirs of grace have received; Life more abundant, peace like a river, Love passing knowledge, since we believed. [Chorus] 4 Let us be joyful, singing together Hymns of thanksgiving, anthems of praise; With songs of rapture, psalms of devotion, Ringing hosannas, filling our days. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Let us be joyful, we that are Christian]

1866 - 1960 Person Name: T. O. Chisholm Author of "Let Us Be Joyful" in Triumphant Service Songs Thomas O. Chisholm was born in Franklin, Kentucky in 1866. His boyhood was spent on a farm and in teaching district schools. He spent five years as editor of the local paper at Franklin. He was converted to Christianity at the age of 26 and soon after was business manager and office editor of the "Pentecostal Herald" of Louisville, Ky. In 1903 he entered the ministry of the M. E.
