Representative Text

1 O all ye lands, rejoice in God
Sing praises to His Name;
Let the whole earth, with one accord,
His wondrous acts proclaim.

2 And let His faithful servants tell,
How, by redeeming love,
Their souls are saved from death and hell,
To share the joys above.

3 Tell how the Holy Spirit's grace
Forbids their feet to slide;
And, as they run the Christian race,
Consents to be their guide.

4 Sing, sing, ye saints, and shout for joy,
Ye ransom'd of the LORD;
Be grateful praise your sweet employ,
His presence your reward.
