O clap your hands and shout for joy,
With triumph and with mirth,
Because the Lord is terrible
And King of all the earth.


God has ascended with a shout
And with the trumpet's sound;
O sing His praises evermore,
And let His name resound.}}

O clap your hands and shout for joy,
With triumph and with mirth,
Because the Lord is terrible
And King of all the earth.

And with the trumpet's sound;
O sing His praises evermore,
And let His name resound.
