From Mourning To Joy

Tune: Church Triumphant

('The Lord is King, lift up thy voice')

Psalm 30 parts

*********

Sing to the Lord, you saints of His

Find in Him your contentment, bliss

Give thanks too at remembrance

Of His holiness, pure presence

For His anger it does endure

A moment, then His mercy sure

And in His favour there is life

His help through earthly trouble, strife

Weeping may endure for a night

But then comes morning's promised light

And joy comes, tears are dried, rejoice

For they who make the Lord their choice

You have turned for me my mourning

Into dancing, new hope you bring

My sackcloth, mourning garments you

Have put off, gave me gladness true

So that my tongue may sing praise to

You, be not silent, worship you

O Lord my God, I will thanks give

To you who save me, I shall live
