Be Joyful

Joyful,
Be joyful,
Be glad this day!
Joy in God’s goodness,
Be glad this day!
All God’s creation joys in His name:
Now let His children all do the same.
Song of the sparrow,
Kiss of the breeze;
Smile of the sunlight,
O joy in these!
Trees pointing upward,
Brooks singing free;
Blossom and starlight,
All joy in Thee.
All God’s creation joys in His Name:
Now let His children all do the same.
Man in God’s likeness,
free from disease;
Perfect creation,
O joy in these!
Men of all nations,
Upright and free;
Thy sons and daughters,
All praising Thee!
Joyful,
Be joyful,
Be glad this day!
Joy in God’s goodness,
Be glad this day!
