Servants of God, in joyful lays
1Servants of God, in joyful lays, Sing ye the Lord Jehovah's praise; His glorious name let all adore, From age to age, for evermore.
2Blest be his name, supremely blest, From sun's rising to its rest, Who in the riches of his grace Looks down upon the human race.
3He hears the unComplaining moan Of those who sit and weep alone; He lifts the mourner from the dust, And makes the broken heart rejoice.
4Oh! then, aloud, ye joyful lays, Sing to the Lord Jehovah's praise; His saving name let all adore, From age to age, for evermore.
