Tears of Joy
Sing aloud with gladness,
Raise shouts of the nations;
Proclaim without sadness,
For divine foundations.
Save Your people O Lord,
Remnant of Israel;
Don’t let them be ignored,
Gather them on Your hill.
Gather the blind and lame,
The women in labor;
Tears of joy to proclaim,
With love for their neighbor.
Tears of joy from their eyes,
Pleas for mercy and grace;
Helping them to be wise,
Drying tears to embrace.
They walk by the water,
Straight path not to stumble;
Birth a son and daughter,
Be righteously humble.
