Be Glad In The Lord And Rejoice

Be glad in the Lord and rejoice,

All ye that are upright in heart;

And ye that have made him your choice,

Bid sadness and sorrow depart.

Be joyful for He is the Lord,

On earth and in heaven supreme;

He fashions and rules by His word,

The Mighty and Strong to redeem.

What though in the conflict for right,

Your enemies almost prevail;

God’s armies, just hid from your sight,

Are more than the foes which assail.

Though darkness surround you by day,

Your sky by the night be o’ercast;

Let nothing your spirit dismay,

But trust till the danger is past.

Be glad in the Lord and rejoice,

His praises proclaiming in song;

With harp and with organ and voice,

The loud hallelujahs prolong.
