For his love like sunshine poured,
For the arms of might that compass us around;
For the “present help” so sure,
For the mercies that endure,
Let the cheerful notes of praise resound.
Refrain:
Oh, be joyful in the Lord,
And the welcome tidings tell,
Like a gladly ringing chorus,
Like a sweetly chiming bell;
That he makes his people happy,
That he “doeth all things well,”
Oh, be joyful in the Lord.

Swell the grand thanksgiving chord,
For the uttermost salvation bless his name!
For the privilege of prayer,
For the blessings all may share,
Sing his goodness, and his grace proclaim. [Refrain]

For the promise-bearing Word,
Like a beacon-light that shines across the sea;
It will guide us till we come
To the everlasting home,
Till we join the endless jubilee. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Oh, be joyful in the Lord]
