1 Be joyful in God, all ye lands of the earth;
Oh, serve Him with gladness and fear;
Exult in His presence with music and mirth,
With love and devotion draw near;
Jehovah is God, and Jehovah alone,
Creator and Ruler o’er all;
And we are His people,
His sceptre we own,
His sheep, and we follow His call;
We follow His call

2 Oh! enter His gates with thanksgiving and song,
Your vows in His temple proclaim;
His praise in melodious accordance prolong;
And bless His adorable name;
For good is the Lord, inexpressibly good,
And we are the work of His Hand;
His mercy and truth from
Eternity stood,
And shall to eternity stand,
To eternity stand.
