Representative Text

1 Oh, sing to the Lord; make a jubilant noise!
Glory be to God!
Oh, serve him with joy; in his presence now rejoice!
Sing praise unto God out of Zion!

2 Not we, but the Lord is our Maker, our God;
Glory be to God!
His people we are, and the sheep led by his rod;
Sing praise unto God out of Zion!

3 Oh, enter his gates with thanksgiving and praise;
Glory be to God!
To bless him and thank him our voices we will raise;
Sing praise unto God out of Zion!

4 For good is the Lord, and his mercy is sure;
Glory be to God!
To all generations his truth shall still endure;
Sing praise unto God out of Zion!
