Hymn 218
From Spiritual Melody (1691), Part IX
MAke joyful noise unto the Lord,
O all ye Nations on the Earth,
Serve him with joy, his praise record,
Come in his sight with Songs of Mirth.
Know that the Lord is God alone,
We are the Flock which he doth keep;
His workmanship, and not our own,
His People and his Pasture-Sheep,
Enter his Gates with thankfulness,
And come with joy into his Courts;
Great gratitude to him express,
And bless his Name in full resorts;
For lo, the Lord is good and kind,
His Mercy everlasting is;
His Truth all Generations find
For evermore assur'd to his.
