JUBILATE DEO(Be joyful in God)

Be joyful in God! Be joyful, O'saints, sing aloud of the glory of His name;
Sing the glory of His praise. To the world, His wonderful grace now proclaim.
Say to God; "How awesome are all the works of Your hand;
You O' God, are worthy of the praises from peoples from every land.

The nations honor you. They come and they bow down before You;
The peoples come and they break forth in joy. Their songs of praise come before You.
Come O' saints, come with thanksgiving and enter into God's holy place;
Sing with joy, give God thanks and praise for His wonderful grace.

Our God has done great things with His mighty and strong hand;
He sends forth His blessings upon peoples from nation and land.
Great is our God. O' bless God and praise Him. He is great indeed;
He cares for our body and soul. He supplies our every need.

In His great might, He rules and governs over every land and nation;
He alone is the eternal source of both life and our salvation.
Bless God! Bless God, you who put your trust in Him. Let your praises be heard;
Bless and thanks Him, for His Spirit, and for the blessings of His Word.

I will enter into God's temple, and I will place my offering before His throne;
There in His presence, I will bow, and I will worship Him alone.
I will mediate on His Word. I will call into remembrance His great mercy;
I will declare; "Oh how God has been so good to me."

Come my friends, and listen, and I will tell you how good God has been;
I will tell you that He sent His Son to redeem me from the power of sin.
When I came to God in prayer, He listened, and He heard my voice;
I go into God's temple to be nourished, to praise, and to rejoice.

My friends, I will tell you that I've had times of both sorrow and sadness;
But I know of a God who turns our dark days into both joy and gladness.
Because of His presence, believers are neither abandoned nor alone;
God, yes God, is faithful. He takes care of His own.

Jubilate Deo!Be joyful in God! Let the saints of God now sing;
Let the glad song of victory rise up to the throne of our God and King.
Let the sacred assembly now praise God for His great love, and for His mercy;
Jubilate Deo!Be joyful in God! May the song of the saints echo thro'
all eternity.
