Be Joyful in God by J. G. Stalnaker — Lyrics
Be joyful in God all you lands.
Sing to the glory of God's name;
Give to God glorious praise!
Be joyful in God all you lands.
Come now and see the works of God
how wonderful is God's doing toward all people.
Who holds our our souls in life,
and will not allow our feet to slip.

About Be Joyful in God
This anthem for SATB choir, Be Joyful in God, opens with a spirit of exuberant praise. The vocal parts enter in dialogue, building from a simple declaration to a powerful declaration of God's glory. The music rejoices in the text's message of thanksgiving and awe, celebrating God's wonderful works and sustaining power. The text culminates with an exultant Alleluia, proclaiming Christ's resurrection, which permeates the final moments of the anthem. The setting is in English and suited for general sacred occasions.
