17 Rejoice to-day with one accord
1 Rejoice to-day with one accord,
Sing out with exultation!
Rejoice and praise our mighty Lord,
Whose arm hath brought salvation.
The greatness of His name
His works of love proclaim:
His goodness He hath shown,
And He is God alone;
Let all His saints adore Him.
2 When in distress to Him we cried,
He heard our sad complaining;
O trust in Him whate'er betide,
His grace is all-sustaining;
Our hearts to Him shall raise
Triumphant songs of praise;
And let all voices say,
"O praise the Lord alway,"
Let all His saints adore Him.
