يا أرض غني بالسرور

Representative Text

1 يا أرضُ غنّي بالسرورْ
لربنا السامي العظيمْ
هيا اعبدوا الرب الغفورْ
بالابتهاج المستديمْ

2 هيا ادخلوا مرنمينْ
في حضرة الرب الكريمْ
ثم اعلموا علمَ اليقينْ
بأنه الله العظيمْ

3 هو الذي صنعنا
ونحن شعب مُقتَناهْ
نحن لمن أحبنا
قطيعُه الذي افتداهْ

4 هيا اقصدوا أعتابَهُ
وباركوه حامدينْ
ثم ادخلوا أبوابهُ
دياره مسبحينْ

5 فصالحٌ هو الإلهْ
رحمتهُ إلى الأبدْ
لكل أدوار الحياهْ
أمانة الرب الصمدْ
