Sacred Songs and Solos Lyrics
Hymn No.207
First Line: Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice,
Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice,
All ye that are upright in heart ;
And ye that have made Him your choice,
Bid sadness and sorrow depart.
Rejoice ! . . . Rejoice ! . . .
Be glad in the Lord and rejoice ! . .
2 Be joyful, for He is the Lord,
On earth and in heaven supreme ;
He fashions and rules by His word ;
The Mighty and Strong to redeem.
3 What though in the conflict for right
Your enemies almost prevail ! [sight,
God's armies, just hid from your
Are more than the foes which assail.
4 Though darkness surround you by day,
Your sky by the night be o'ercast,
Let nothing your spirit dismay,
But trust till the dagger is past.
5 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice,
His praises proclaiming in song ;
With harp, and with organ, and voice,
The loud hallelujahs prolong !
