I was glad by Ronald McVey — Lyrics
I was glad, I was glad when they said unto me,
"Let us go to the house of the Lord!"
All God's people rejoice, everyone lift your voice
and give thanks in the house of the Lord!
All glory and honor we give to you;

About I was glad
Ronald McVey's setting of I was glad is a unison anthem for mixed voices, sung in English. Its text is drawn from the Psalms and expresses the joy and anticipation of gathering for worship in the house of the Lord. The music echoes this sentiment with uplifting melodies and a sense of communal praise. This sacred piece is ideal for adding a bright and devotional element to a service or concert programme. Its clear, direct message and accessible vocal line make it a suitable choice for choirs seeking a piece that is both musically engaging and spiritually resonant, encouraging congregational participation and offering a heartfelt expression of thanks.
