Fill your hearts with joy and gladness

Fill your hearts with joy and gladness,

Sing and praise your God and mine!

Great the Lord in love and wisdom,

Might and majesty divine!

He who framed the starry heavens

Knows and names them as they shine.

Praise the Lord for times and seasons,

Cloud and sunshine, wind and rain;

Spring to melt the snows of winter

Till the waters flow again;

Grass upon the mountain pastures,

Golden valleys thick with grain.

Fill your hearts with joy and gladness,

Peace and plenty crown your days;

Love His laws, declare His judgments,

Walk in all His words and ways,

He the Lord and we His children;

Praise the Lord, all people praise!
