1. Sing to the Lord a joyful song,
lift up your hearts, your voices raise,
to us his gracious gifts belong,
to him our songs of love and praise;
for he's the Lord of heaven and earth,
whom angels serve and saints adore,
the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
to whom be praise for evermore. PDF - Midi
2. For life and love, for rest and food,
for daily help and nightly care,
sing to the Lord, for he is good,
and praise his Name, for it is fair;
for he's the Lord of heaven and earth,
whom angels serve and saints adore,
the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
to whom be praise for evermore.
3. For strength to those who on him wait,
his truth to prove, his will to do,
praise ye your God, for he is great,
trust in his Name, for it is true;
for he's the Lord of heaven and earth,
whom angels serve and saints adore,
the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
to whom be praise for evermore.
4. For joys untold that daily move
round those who love his sweet employ,
sing to our God, for he is love,
exalt his Name, for it is joy;
for he's the Lord of heaven and earth,
whom angels serve and saints adore,
the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
to whom be praise for evermore.
5. For life below, with all its bliss,
and for that life, more pure and high,
that inner life, which over this
shall ever shine, and never die;
sing to the Lord of heaven and earth,
whom angels serve and saints adore,
the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
to whom be praise for evermore.
