Serve the Lord with gladness.
Psalm 100:2.
Ye nations round the earth, rejoice,
Before the Lord, your sovereign King;
Serve him with cheerful heart and voice;
With all your tongues his glory sing.
2 The Lord is God: ’tis he alone
Doth life, and breath, and being give;
We are his work, and not our own;
The sheep that on his pastures live.
3 Enter his gates with songs of joy;
With praises to his courts repair;
And make it your divine employ
To pay your thanks and honors there.
4 The Lord is good, the Lord is kind;
Great is his grace, his mercy sure:
And the whole race of men shall find
His truth from age to age endure.
Watts.
