Be joyful in God, all ye lands of the earth,
O serve Him with gladness and fear!
Exult in His presence with music and mirth,
With love and devotion draw near,
With love and devotion draw near.

Jehovah is God, and Jehovah alone,
Creator and Ruler o’er all;
And we are His people, His scepter we own,
His sheep, and we follow His call,
His sheep, and we follow His call.

O enter His gates with thanksgiving and song!
Your vows in His temple proclaim;
His praise with melodious accordance prolong,
And bless His adorable Name,
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,
And shall to eternity stand.

Come, ye that love the Savior’s Name,
And joy to make it known,
The Sovereign of your hearts proclaim,
And bow before His throne.

Behold your Lord, your Master, crowned
With glories all divine;
And tell the wondering nations round
How bright those glories shine.

When, in His earthly courts, we view
The glories of our King,
We long to love as angels do,
And wish like them to sing.

And shall we long and wish in vain?
Lord, teach our songs to rise:
Thy love can animate the strain,
And bid it reach the skies.

Jesus, I love Thy charming Name,
’Tis music to mine ear;
Fain would I sound it out so loud
That earth and Heaven should hear.

Yes, Thou art precious to my soul,
My Transport and my Trust;
Jewels to Thee are gaudy toys,
And gold is sordid dust.

All my capacious powers can wish
In Thee doth richly meet;
Not to mine eyes is light so dear,
Nor friendship half so sweet.

Thy grace still dwells upon my heart,
And sheds its fragrance there;
The noblest balm of all its wounds,
The cordial of its care.

Jesus, Thy Name I love
All other names above,
Jesus, my Lord:
O Thou art all to me;
Nothing to please I see,
Nothing apart from Thee,
Jesus, my Lord.

Thou, blessèd Son of God,
Hast bought me with Thy blood,
Jesus, my Lord:
O how great is Thy love,
All other loves above,
Love that I daily prove,
Jesus, my Lord.

When unto Thee I flee,
Thou wilt my Refuge be,
Jesus, my Lord:
What need I now to fear,
What earthly grief or care,
Since Thou art ever near?
Jesus, my Lord.

Soon Thou wilt come again;
I shall be happy then,
Jesus my Lord:
Then Thine own face I’ll see,
Then I shall like Thee be,
Then ever more with Thee,
Jesus, my Lord.

O for a shout of joy, loud as the theme we sing!
To this divine employ your hearts and voices bring;
Sound, sound, through all the earth abroad,
The love, th’eternal love of God;
The love, th’eternal love of God.

Unnumbered myriads stand, of seraphs bright and fair,
Or bow at His right hand, and pay their homage there;
But strive in vain, with loudest chord,
To sound the wondrous love of God;
To sound the wondrous love of God.

Yet sinners saved by grace, in songs of lower key,
In every age and place, have sung the mystery;
Have told, in strains of sweet accord,
The love, the sovereign love of God;
The love, the sovereign love of God.

Though earth and hell assail, and doubts and fears arise,
The weakest shall prevail, and grasp the heavenly prize,
And through an endless age record
The love, th’unchanging love of God;
The love, th’unchanging love of God.

O let the heart beat high with bliss,
Yea, let it triumph at the sound
Of Jesu’s Name, so sweet it is,
For every joy therein is found.

The Name that comforteth in woe,
The Name of Jesus healing sin,
The Name that curbs the powers below
And drives away the death within:

The Name that soundeth ever sweet
In speech or verse or holy song,
And bids us run with willing feet
Consoled, and comforted, and strong.

Then let the Name of Jesus ring
With lofty praise in every place;
Let heart and voice together sing—
That Name shall every ill efface.

Ah! Jesu, health of sinful men,
Give ear unto our loving prayer;
Guide Thou our wandering feet again,
And hold our doings in Thy care.

Lord, may Thy Name supply our needs,
And keep us from all danger free,
And make us perfect in good deeds,
That we may lose our sins by Thee.

To Thee, O Christ, all glory be
Who shinest with this holy Name;
We worship Thy divinity,
Jesu, Thou Lord of gentle fame.

O Jesu, of a virgin born,
Immortal honor be to Thee;
Praise to the Father infinite,
And Holy Ghost eternally.
