The words
Verse 1
O clap your hands together, O clap your hands together all ye people. O sing unto God with the voice of melody, of melody. For the Lord is high and to be feared, for the Lord is high and to be feared. He is the great King of all the earth, of all the earth, he is the great King of all the earth. He shall subdue, he shall subdue, he shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet. He shall choose out an heritage for us, he shall choose out an heritage for us, ev’n the worship of Jacob, the worship of Jacob whom he loved. God is gone up with a merry noise, with a merry noise, and the Lord with the sound of the trumpet, and the Lord with the sound of the trumpet, God is gone up with a merry noise, and the Lord, the Lord with the sound, the sound of the trumpet O sing praises, sing praises, sing praises unto our God: sing praises, O sing praises, sing praises unto the Lord our King, unto the Lord our King, our King. For God is the King of all the earth, of all the earth: sing ye praises with the understanding, with the understanding. God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon his holy seat, upon his holy seat, God sitteth upon his holy seat, sitteth upon his holy seat. For God which is highly exalted doth defend the earth as it were with a shield. Glory be to the Father, glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Son, and to the Son, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, and to the Holy Ghost: As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end, and ever shall be, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, without end. Amen.
