Sing To The Lord a Joyful Song

by JOHN SAMUEL BEWLEY MONSELL, 1811-75.

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 is Lord of Heaven and earth,
Whom angels serve and saints adore,
The lather son and Holy Ghost,
To whom be praise foe ever more
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 strength to those who on Him wait
His truth to prove, His will to do,
Praise ye our God, for he is great,
Trust in His Name, for it is true.
For joys untold, that from above
Cheer those who love His sweet employ,
Sing to our God, for He is love
Exalt His Name for it is Joy.ho doth prosper thy work and
defend thee;
Surely His goodness and mercy shall daily attend thee
Ponder anew.
What the Almighty can do.
If with His love He befriend thee.
JOACHIM NEANDER, 1650-80; tr. By CATH
ERINE WINKWORTH, 1827-78, and others.
