123. Joyfully Sing

1 Joyfully sing, let us joyfully sing,
Praise to the Lord, our Redeemer and King;
Holy his name, and exalted shall be;
Light of the soul and its Maker is he.
O praise him, ye angels on the bright hills of glory,
Who behold him in splendor and await his command;
O praise your Creator with your harps and your voices,
O sing as ye fly thro’ the bright summer sky.

Refrain:
Come, let us join the angel throng
In their beautiful, beautiful song,
Let the winds take up the strain,
While the echo is wafted along;
Come, let us join the host above,
In their beautiful song of love;
O, sing with a tuneful heart,
Praise to our Saviour above.

2 Joyfully sing, let us joyfully sing,
Glory to him, our Redeemer and King;
Hold up the cross, with its banner unfurled;
Shout, for Messiah has conquered the world.
O praise him, ye armies of the tried and the faithful,
Who have laid down your armor on the shore of the blest;
O praise him whose mercy was around and about you,
Directing your steps to the sweet vale of rest. [Refrain]
