O clap your hands, all ye people I say
Raise your voices unto our holy King
Shout unto the Lord with praise today
Let your voices be heard as we sing.
Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised
According to thy name we worship you
Unto you we worship you with arms raised
Your faithfulness for us always so true.
God is our refuge and our loving strength
Therefore we shall not fear anything
Your love proved, going to great length
Thru Calvary you made a way restoring
For lo the wicked bend their bow to hurt
They make ready the arrow upon the string
Your angels on the ready staying alert
To them your wrath we pray you bring.
The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips
And all the tongues that speaketh proud
Your righteousness shall sink their ships
Though they boast and talk real loud
The words of the Lord are pure and wise
As silver tried in the furnace of earth.
No one will be able to hide in disguise
Before you our works have no worth.
I have trusted in the Lord’s kindness
I will sing unto the Lord a new song
No longer will I walk in blindness
My praise I give all my life long.
