“Ode to Joy” by Ludwig van Beethoven
[Key: Eb]
Verse 1
Sing to Yahweh, sing a new song
For the wonders He has done;
His right hand and arm most holy
Have for Him the vict’ry won.
And the Lord revealed His rescue,
His salvation He made known;
In the sight of ev’ry nation He
His righteousness has shown.
Verse 2
He recalled His love for Isr’el,
And to them has faithful been;
When our God sent His salvation,
It a-round the earth was seen.
Sing unto the Lord with gladness,
All the earth sing joyful praise.
To the Lord with harp make music,
With the harp your voices raise.
Verse 3
With the blast of horn and trumpet,
Shout before the Lord, the King.
Let the sea resound with praises,
Earth, with all its people sing.
Let the rivers in their gladness
Clap their hands with one accord;
Let the mountains sing together
And rejoice before the Lord.
Verse 4
For most surely He is coming,
Judge of all the earth to be.
Justly He will judge the peoples,
And the world with equity.
Sing to Yahweh, sing a new song
For the wonders He has done;
His right hand and arm most holy
Have for Him the vict’ry won!
