God be praised with a song!
To the Lord we belong--
children of our Maker,
God the great life giver!
Refrain:
Shout for joy, joy, joy!
Shout for joy, joy, joy!
God is love, God is light,
God is everlasting!
2 By God's Word all was made,
heaven and earth, light and shade,
nature's wonders displayed,
we to rule creation
from its first foundation. [Refrain]
3 Yet our pride makes us fall!
so Christ came for us all--
not the righteous to call--
by his cross and passion,
bringing us salvation! [Refrain]
4 Now has Christ truly risen
and his Spirit is given
to all those under heaven
who will walk beside him,
though they once denied him! [Refrain] Used With Tune: PERSONENT HODIE
Shout for Joy, Loud and Long
