Make joyful noise now, you lands all (you lands all)
To God, and on Him call
Sing forth the honour of His name

Praise Him, His endless fame

His eyes behold the nations all

Be proud not, but humble
Be proud not, but humble
Be proud not, but humble
Psalm 66 v.11-12
When we were trapped as in a net (in a net)
You did still help us yet
Your help through afflictions we trace

Rescued we by your grace

Rescued we by your grace
Psalm 67 v.1
To us, O God, be merciful (merciful)
Help us hear when you call
Cause you face to here on us shine

Bright beams of love divine
Bright beams of love divine
Bright beams of love divine
Psalm 67 v.2-3
So may your way on earth be known (earth be known)
Your saving health be shown
Among all nations, so they praise
Among all nations, so they praise
To you glad anthems raise
To you glad anthems raise
To you glad anthems raise
Psalm 68 v.1
Let God arise, His enemies (enemies)
Be scattered, victory
Sure it be the Lord's, He most High

Let them that hate Him fly
Let them that hate Him fly
Let them that hate Him fly

But the righteous, let them be glad (them be glad)
Not mournful, downcast, sad
And let them before God rejoice

Greatly, exultant voice
Greatly, exultant voice
Greatly, exultant voice
Psalm 68 v.8
O God, when you went forth before (forth before)
Your people, it was sure
When you did march through wilderness
When you did march through wilderness
Earth, heaven shook no less
Earth, heave shook no less
Earth, heaven shook no less

You God have our strength commanded (commanded)

By our grace we are taught

O God, you holy, awesome e'er (awesome, e'er)
With you none can compare
God, you strength to your people give

You sustain us, we live
You sustain us, we live
You sustain us, we live
