1 Let us all with gladsome voice
Praise the God of heaven,
Who to bid our hearts rejoice
His own Son hath given.
Praise the God of heaven,
Who to bid our hearts rejoice
His own Son hath given.
2 To this vale of tears He comes,
Here to serve in sadness,
That with Him in heaven's fair homes
We may reign in gladness.
Here to serve in sadness,
That with Him in heaven's fair homes
We may reign in gladness.
3 We are rich, for He was poor;
Is not this a wonder!
Therefore praise God evermore,
Here on earth and yonder!
Is not this a wonder!
Therefore praise God evermore,
Here on earth and yonder!
