Hymn

Let Every Heart Rejoice

Henry Stevenson Washburn

Let every heart rejoice and sing,

Let choral anthems rise;

Ye reverend men and children, bring

To God your sacrifice;

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 father praise.

He bids the sun to rise and set;

In heaven his power is known;

And earth, subdued to him, shall yet

Bow low before his throne;

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 father praise.
