Ye Lands, To the Lord, Make a Jubilant Noise.
Cantate Sunday Hymn by Ulrik Koren.
The Lutheran Hymnal #44




"Ye Lands, to the Lord Make a Jubilant Noise"
by Ulrik V. Koren, 1826-1910
Translated by Harriet R. Spaeth, 1845-1925

1. Ye lands, to the Lord make a jubilant noise;
Glory be to God!
Oh, serve Him with joy, in His presence now rejoice;
Sing praise unto God out of Zion!

2. Not we, but the Lord is our Maker, our God;
Glory be to God!
His people we are, and the sheep led by His rod;
Sing praise unto God out of Zion!

3. Oh, enter His gates with thanksgiving and praise;
Glory be to God!
To bless Him and thank Him our voices we will raise;
Sing praise unto God out of Zion!

4. For good is the Lord, and His mercy is sure;
Glory be to God!
To all generations His truth shall still endure;
Sing praise unto God out of Zion!
