Lyrics
Verse 1
Let the glory of the Lord forever be a joy, may redemption be the theme of our song
For by grace we have been saved, and by grace we shall proclaim
To the corners of the earth that Christ has come
Chorus 1
Let the nations be glad, let the people rejoice
For salvation belongs to our God
Let the whole earth be filled, with the praises of the Lord
For salvation belongs to our God, let the nations be glad
Verse 2
Through the ages gone before, through the trial and the sword
Many saints and martyrs conquered though they died
Still we're holding out the cross, crossing ocean suffering loss
Shall endure all things to win the crown of life
Chorus 2
Let the nations be glad, let the people rejoice
For salvation belongs to our God
Let the whole earth be filled, with the praises of the Lord
For salvation belongs to our God, let the nations be glad
Verse 3
As your holy church goes forth, in the Holy Spirit's power, with the glories of the Gospel to explain
Now we pray Your kingdom come, and we pray Your will be done
For the honor and the glory of Your name
Ending
Let the nations be glad
Let the nattions be glad
