Shout For Joy Loud And Long

Shout For Joy, Loud And Long,
God Be Praised With A Song!
To The Lord We Belong
Children Of The Father,
God The Great Life-Giver!

Shout For Joy, Joy, Joy;
Shout For Joy, Joy, Joy!
God Is Love, God Is Light,
God Is Everlasting!

By God’s Word All Was Made,
Heaven And Earth, Light And Shade,
Nature’s Wonders Displayed,
Man To Rule Creation
From Its First Foundation.

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!

Now Has Christ Truly Risen
And His Spirit Is Given
To All Those Under Heaven
Who Will Walk Beside Him,
Though They Once Denied Him!
