Canticle of Thanksgiving
UMH 1989 #074Lyrics
Response 1 (Thanksgiving & General): Make joyful noise, lift up your voice! Ye nations of the earth rejoice!
Response 2 (General): Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice, give thanks, and sing.
Make a joyful noice unto the Lord, all ye lands.
Serve the Lord with gladness;
come before his presence with singing.
Know ye that the Lord, he is God;
it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,
and into his courts with praise;
be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
for the Lord is good;
his mercy is everlasting;
and his truth endureth to all generations.
(Response)
