42. Let Us All with Gladsome Voice

1 Let us all with gladsome voice
Praise the God of heaven,
Who, to bid our hearts rejoice,
His own Son has given.

2 To this place of fears he came,
Servant, healer, mender;
Through his death we heaven claim,
There to reign in splendor.

3 We are rich, for he was poor;
Is not this a wonder?
Therefore praise God evermore
Here on earth and yonder.

4 Christ, our Lord and Savior dear,
Oh, be ever near us.
Be our joy throughout each year.
Amen, Jesus, hear us.
