Representative Text

1 Unto God our Savior sing a joyful song;
wondrous are his doings, for his arm is strong.
He has wrought salvation, he has made it known,
and before the nations is his justice shown.

2 Joyful, all you people, sing before the LORD;
shout and sing his praises now in glad accord;
with the harp and trumpet joyful praises bring;
come, rejoice before him, God, the LORD, your King.

3 Waves of mighty ocean, earth with fullness stored,
floods and fields and mountains, sing before the LORD;
for he comes with justice, evil to redress,
and to judge the nations in his righteousness.
