Be glad and rejoice by Myles Birket Foster — Lyrics
Be glad and rejoice in the Lord your God,
That hath dealt wondrously with you.
He maketh peace in all thy borders,
and filleth thee with the flour of wheat.
Lift up your eyes on high, and behold
Who hath created these things by the greatness of His might.

About Be glad and rejoice
Myles Birket Foster’s anthem Be glad and rejoice is a jubilant setting of a varied biblical text, suitable for a harvest festival or any occasion celebrating God’s bounty and faithfulness. The composer draws on verses from Isaiah, Haggai, and the Gospels to create a message of thanksgiving and hopeful anticipation. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic colours to underscore the text’s themes of divine provision, peace, and the blessing of seeking God’s kingdom first. The music expresses the joy of answered prayer and the abundance of the earth, culminating in a powerful affirmation of praise.
