The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad;
let the distant shores rejoice.
Psalm 97:1 NIV
**********
Joy to the earth, the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ,
while fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
repeat the sounding joy,
repeat the sounding joy,
repeat, repeat the sounding joy.
**********
Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth,
burst into jubilant song with music;
make music to the Lord with the harp,
with the harp and the sound of singing,
with trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn—
shout for joy before the Lord, the King.
Psalm 98: 4-6 NIV
**********
Joy is the instrument with which our hearts play the most beautiful songs.
