Lyrics

O sing to God a joyful song
Come on all earth and join the throng.
Blest are you Lord our creator.
You bring salvation day by day,
Both in our work and in our play.
Blest are you Lord our creator,
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

Lord, all the nations praise your power.
They stand assembled in this hour.
Great are you, Lord, king of nations.
Truth, power, majesty, and fame.
Beauty, and glory from your name.
Great are you, Lord, king of nations,
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
