Joy of the Lord
Joy of the Lord, indeed jubilant
Offered for glad life’s optimization
Yours and mine fully; surely… yes!
Ordered to rejoice evermore* openly
Fervently we do worshipfully as blessings flow…
Triumphantly blissful midst trials
Hoisted are we, blessed by faith's heavenly hope
Exhorted along edification's encouragement…
Led with God’s love-filled light
Our hearts trust Almighty's omniscience
Rejuvenated toward reaching-out readiness
Delighting in the Saviour's joy daily.
*1Thessalonians 5:16 Rejoice evermore. Nehemiah 8:10 … The joy of the LORD is your strength.
