So let the heavens be joyful : Sing the mighty power of God (Tune; Ellacombe)

13.  Hymns in Procession : So let the heavens be joyful - Tune: Ellacombe

Unison

1.       I sing the mighty power of God, that made the mountains rise,
That spread the flowing seas abroad, and built the lofty skies.
I sing the wisdom that ordained the sun to rule the day;
The moon shines full at God’s command, and all the stars obey.

Harmony

2.       I sing the goodness of the Lord, who filled the earth with food,
Who formed the creatures through the Word, and then pronounced them good.
Lord, how Thy wonders are displayed, where’er I turn my eye,
If I survey the ground I tread, or gaze upon the sky.

Harmony

3.       There’s not a plant or flower below, but makes Thy glories known,
And clouds arise, and tempests blow, by order from Thy throne;
While all that borrows life from Thee is ever in Thy care;
And everywhere that we can be, Thou, God art present there.

Un-accompanied

4.       Soon in the golden city 
the boys and girls shall play, 
and through the dazzling mansions 
rejoice in endless day; 
O Christ, prepare thy children 
with that triumphant throng 
to pass the burnished portals, 
and sing the eternal song

Unison & Descant

5.       Now let the heavens be joyful! Let earth the song begin!
Let the round world keep triumph, and all that is therein!
Let all things seen and unseen their notes in gladness blend,
For Christ the Lord hath risen, our joy that hath no end.
