Let Every Heart Rejoice

Henry Stevenson Washburn • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 100:4-5

Verse 1

Let ev'ry heart rejoice and sing, Let choral anthems rise; Ye aged men, and children, bring To God your sacrifice.

Chorus

For He is good, the Lord is good, And kind are all His ways; With songs and honors sounding loud, The Lord Jehovah praise. While the rocks and the rills, While the vales and the hills, A glorious anthem raise; Let each prolong the grateful song, And the God of our fathers praise, And the God of our fathers praise.

Verse 2

He bids the sun to rise and set; In heav'n His pow'r is known; And earth subdued to Him, shall yet Bow low before His throne.

Chorus

For He is good, the Lord is good, And kind are all His ways; With songs and honors sounding loud, The Lord Jehovah praise. While the rocks and the rills, While the vales and the hills, A glorious anthem raise; Let each prolong the grateful song, And the God of our fathers praise, And the God of our fathers praise.
