1 O BE joyful in the Lord, all ye | lands; || Serve the Lord with gladness, And come before His presence with a song.

2 Be sure that the Lord | He is | God; || It is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves: We are His | people; and the sheep of His | pasture.

3 O go your way into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His | courts with | praise; || Be thankful unto Him, and speak good of His name.

4 For the Lord is gracious, His mercy is | ever- | lasting; || And His truth endureth from generation to gene- | ration.

5 Glory be to the Father, and to the | Son, || And | to the Holy | Ghost;

6 As it was in the beginning, is now, and | ever shall | be, || World without | end. A- |
