Author: David Mowbray, b. 1938 Hymnal: With One Voice #793 (1995) Meter: 6.6.6.6.6 with refrain Refrain First Line: Shout for joy, joy, joy! Lyrics: 1 Shout for joy loud and long,
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,
heav'n 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 ris'n,
and his Spirit is giv'n
to all those under heav'n
who now walk beside him,
though they once denied him. (Refrain) Topics: Creation, Preservation; Easter, Vigil of; Praise, Adoration Scripture: Genesis 1 Languages: English Tune Title: PERSONENT HODIE
