About this Hymn
Psalm 67 is one of Scripture's great missional calls, inviting all the peoples of the earth to join in the song of God's praise and to find everlasting joy in him. The idea for this hymn was born in a seminary classroom and has since become a heartfelt anthem for global missions, inspiring worship in diverse settings around the world. – Matt Boswell
Lyrics
Verse 1
Let the glory of the Lord forever be our joy. May redemption be the theme of our song. For by grace we have been saved, and by grace we shall proclaim to the corners of the earth that Christ has come.
Chorus
Let the nations be glad, let the people rejoice, for salvation belongs to our God. Let the whole earth be filled with the praises of the Lord, for salvation belongs to our God. Let the nations be glad.
Verse 2
Through the ages gone before, through the trial and the sword, many saints and martyrs conquered, tho' they died. Still we're holding out the cross, crossing oceans, suff'ring loss, shall endure all things to win the crown of life.
Verse 3
As your holy church goes forth in the Holy Spirit's pow'r with the glories of the gospel to explain. Now we pray your kingdom come, and we pray your will be done for the honor and the glory of your name.
